set in the Ethereal Eclipse, up near Dahlia :o 300+
As he had when he had first arrived in these lands, Nayati stalked out into the lands outside of AniWayan borders. This time though, the newly promoted Enagayahe Kanati had chosen a different direction. He had headed northeast into the thick trees. It had been raining off and on lately, but he found here that even when the sky did weep the heavy canopy for the forest kept him mostly dry. This was an old forest, and he sensed that it help many secrets within its dark depths. The Utina had traveled a ways into the woods before beginning to look for tracks in the ground littered with dead leaves. The pervading scent was that of the trees and the wet earth they spread their roots in. So far he had yet to scent anything else, though he had found some deer tracks and quietly followed them. They didn't seem that old, but it was odd that his nose could pick up no hint of them. It appeared to be a small herd, only a few deer, but he still felt he should have been able to smell them.
Onawa was with him as always, but this place also intrigued her and seemed to call to some part of her. The puma would wander away from her luperci companion only to wander back a few minutes later. She didn't say what it was that she seemed to be searching for, in fact she seemed to almost ignore him, completely distracted by whatever it was that held her attention. Nayati wasn't sure what to make of that, whether it was a good or bad thing that so interested her. He eased himself with the knowledge that if there were imminent danger anywhere near she would not be so quiet. She would never lead him into harms way.
They continued the walk, but now it had been quite some time since he had seen the last tracks from the deer. He looked all around, but could find no further trace of them. When he returned from checking behind a particularly thick strand of trees he returned to where he had left Onawa, but once again she had wandered off somewhere into the woods. Letting out a frustrated huff he leaned his back against the nearest tree and crossed his arms over his broad chest. Pale icy orbs closed, hoping to let the negative energy seep out of him before he continued.
