There has always been an allure to the hunt and the prey makes little difference; it is still a game of watching and waiting nonetheless. Perhaps I could have been more forward with my intentions, more blatant and less concealed, and yet there is not so much fun in such displays. It is more satisfying, I think, to follow her like I ought to follow elk and to watch her like I ought to watch a hare. She might very well know that I watch her. After all, there is an allure to being the prey too.
Eventually, I make my move. She giggles, a girlish thing that seems obscene in such a situation and yet, I pull half a lip up into an amused grin. At least she is not afraid. At least she is not some cowering child scared of being found, of being sought out. Her words bring my eyes to meet hers as I move about, my head slowly tilting before I respond, my voice inquisitive and yet passive all the same.
I do not expect her, though, to move as she does and so suddenly at that. Without hesitation, she moves towards me, her fur suddenly against my own; I feel the heat of her body, an uncomfortable closeness that lures out a quiet growl from within. I do my best to avoid flinching however, unready to give her such power when it is I that has done the hunting and the finding. I am tempted to lash out, my lip quivering up for a moment to reveal the pointed edge of a canine, and yet I abstain, my hackles rising in warning instead. Regardless, I continue leading her towards the borders.
She seems eager at the prospect, a fact that I did not expect, and so, I pause momentarily as we enter the distinct territorial markers of Glorall. My eyes narrow as I watch her, momentarily ahead, and yet I am soon addressed once more; a name, she wants. It makes me smirk, my body moving forward once more with long, sauntering steps.
