She'd landed softly and almost in a flash she was up on her toes again while her ears flickered everywhichway trying to catch the sounds of the woods and identify them. She smiled to herself as the animals around her grew quiet, the shriek of a jay told her of intruders and she assumed it was herself, though the animals had had time to grow use to the bronze and cream female who was walking among them. Shaking leaves from her pelt she grinned a toothy grin up at the jay cawing up above, just tempting him to get closer when suddenly the wind changed and a new scent flooded her nose.
Shaking her head softly she turned and gazed into the woods, silently thanking the jay's callings of stranger danger as she lifted her muzzle once more to the sky and drank in the scent of the other. The musky scent of male clung to her senses as she called out, "I know you're there.." Her muscles tensed as she thought about the fact that it might be a coyote, but her brain told her different, the unseen one didn't have the pungent overcast scent that DaVinci did, just the musky scent of another wolf. She scanned the dense undergrowth for a sign of his where abouts before turning her head and letting her ears do the work as she tried to concentrate on something else.
