Neverwinter Forest this place sucks, sorry not sorry

It was getting easier to navigate the longer he was in the forest, and especially with Orochi's help. Scents were harder to pick up over the chaos of the rain and the many, many wolves that now resided here, but he was working on it. In fact, he was tracking Orochi right now, nose to the ground and ears swiveling back and forth. 

Fortunately, Orochi was fairly loud when he spoke, and he could hear him better than he could smell him. So, when he caught the tail end of what his companion was saying, and the last bit of the woman's response, it was easier to catch up. 

The red wolf padded up to the scene and brushed against Orochi's side, nudging him with his shoulder. "Found you," he announced, his ears twitching toward the woman he was speaking to. The conversation had seemed slightly tense, about Orochi's rank, he thought. "I really don't think Orochi is the type of person who would settle for another position," he admitted, offering her a small smile. The have you met the guy? went unsaid.

Personally, he didn't think it was right to give someone's rank away just because they were away for a while, especially on an assigned mission, but he wasn't going to say anything about it. He proved himself already, clearly, so why take it away? "My name's Hide," he introduced, belatedly. "Who are you?"
