The hybrid boy—closer to a man—hunkered down as he pulled himself forward step by step. He really did have an unfortunate pelt for camouflage, although when snow blanketed the Waste it would be more of a blessing. She had a distinct coat too, but it was all woody tan, dark and light, dappled with shadows and patched with scars. Her tongue flicked along needlelike teeth as she followed his lead, eyes finding the smallish deer as directed.
Paw over paw, weight balanced for silence and senses strained to note the direction of the wind, she stalked their target alongside Max. Her path was a slightly rounded one, only a subtle shift now, but eventually she’d be able to come along the side of the creature; it was no use the two of them bolting headlong toward the deer unless they were close enough. She would have to wait for the other’s direction, however, and see if it was best for her to strike from the side or go elsewhere.
