Dally

Having secured a safe route for Senka, Nemu, and Duality, Dally circled sharply in the air before coasting back down to a low rock in the center of a large meadow. Out here, they were safe from ambush, as the raptor's keen vision would catch anyone trying to sneak up on his pack mates.

"All clear!" Dally called out. The peregrine falcon took a few moments to preen his wing, while intermittently craning his neck up to survey the field for danger.

Senka

She followed Dally and kept her own ears and eyes alert as they made it to the border. She releases a call.

Nemu stands by her sister.

Crucifix is resting when he hears the call and he yawns as he gets up. He heads out by himself for now. His ears flicking forward when he see's who it is. What did they want now? SenkaHe said.

Dally, Duality & Sunburst

Duality kept pace with the two big cats, her legs pumping and her paws striking the ground twice for their every one step. She was panting by the time they reached the boarder, though it was due entirely to the heat of the summer day rather than the effort of their journey. Fortunately, the emissary didn't have to wait long before the ebony and ashen coat of the alpha male was spotted by Dally, who in turn gave a sharp cry to alert Senka and the group. Duality held back a nod, and a smidgen of disappointment when she didn't see Sunburst tagging along with him.

"We're here with news, Crucifix. We may need your help soon." She glanced up at Senka and Nemu, not sure if she should be the one speaking, or whether they wanted to.

-----

Sunburst was lounging beside the river, gnawing on the broken tine of an elk's antler when Senka's call went out. Immediately the little hybrid pressed up front the ground and perked his tall ears, tail struggling not to wag in excitement. And yet, he did feel some hesitancy, to his own surprise. He'd grown fond of his new family, and the presence of Haunters could mean danger for them. Or was this a neutral visit? Uncertain of what was going on, Sunburst began to stalk in their direction at a steady pace.
