When she asked him about the weather he just grinned at her. He knew it was extremely wet, which would make the chase just that much more interesting. Easier for them as well, as their paws and claws held much more traction in mud then the cloven hooves of deer. She said she was game, Good! Zalen said and stood just as she did. They both began to shift into Secui, hers taking just a hair shorter of time to do, most likely due to her excitement, plus Zalen’s Secui was quite bulky. He couldn’t help but stare at her though, he hadn’t had the chance to see many luperci shift in front of him and it was quite a spectacle.
She spoke of how it might be hard to catch a scent in the rain and he nodded, though he also knew where in the area the deer usually hung out so he wasn’t too worried. She burst forth from the cave and he was hot on her tail, the misty rain didn’t even have time to cling to his thick coat and it took a good while before he began to feel wet.
She had speed on her side and it took a lot of concentration to keep pace with her, but Zalen was managed pretty well. He made sure to steer her in the direction he believed the game would be, and the two of them therefore ran shoulder to shoulder, wet black fur mixing with gold. Soon he slowed to a trot and began sniffing the ground to no avail, the mud sucked up an scent like a sponge. But he knew they were there, this is where the small heard of does always hung out. He wondered why it was so quiet.
His question was answered when in the distant, the white tail of a mature buck flashed as it bounded away. Zalen glanced at Saxif wide eyed and excited. A buck! What a challenge. No one wonder the does weren’t around, they were avoiding the male of their species. What do you suggest? he asked quickly.
