Overture Downs If you've something to hide

She did wonder if he had some other motive.  Sure, cougars were dangerous, but if he had so much experience, why didn't this guy look nearly as thrashed as, say, Terance?  Did he just track them or run from them or what? But you look fine.  It was a statement that questioned his supposed experience more than the danger of it. Treason was not dumb.  Still, hence the investigation.  She needed to make sure the pack was safe.

He was definitely a good deal more twitchy than she was, but that was probably because he seemed to be on his own.  Yet not seeking her pack, at least from his lack of saying things.  She didn't care to force the Issue.  At the sound, she looked that way too, but since she hadn't heard anything else to go with that branch, it might just have been a natural cause without an animal's interference. Who knew? She had the advantage of having backup not too far away, so she was in no rush. Honestly she was probably more curious what the guy would do, and the answer to that was apparently just walk away, so Treason would continue on her quest for cougar signs.
