Sorry for the wait, I was busy for the past week. D: +3

Alyssum slowed down slightly, her large ears catching tiny, snuffling sound. One of her hands slid down to her belt loops, hovering over the dagger. She came to a pause in her steps and tried to catch the sound, tilting her ears and head in a few angles. The source of the noise seemed to be from a small creature, and when that thought occurred, she instinctively raised her nose to the wind; though not so good in Optime form than Lupus, she still could scent smells with them. After a moment of sniffing, she caught the smell of something familiar: a hare.

Alyssum's stomach growled quietly at the smell, since she haven't ate since last night. She slipped out the dagger, and carefully went over to the direction the hare was located at.

Not even in a minute, she spotted the creature. It seemed to be searching for food; it nose was to the ground, sniffing out for any vegetation that survived the frosts. Alyssum wasted no time, approaching the prey silently, careful not to crunch any snow under her paws. When she was about a foot away from the hare, downwind and behind its back, the coyote girl lunged. The beast heard her leap, and tried to give one, big jump to escape from Alyssum's reach, but she was luckily faster. With a practiced sweep of her dagger, she made a clean kill of the hare, ending its life as quick as a blink. After cleaning off her weapon, she inspected her catch. It was good length, but it was thin, even if it was winter.

Alyssum then caught another noise, but this time it was much larger than a mere rabbit. Holding the prey by its ears in one hand and dagger in the other, the coyote again headed towards the unknown noise. After about two minutes of searching for the source, she caught sight of a figure looming at the borders. I wonder who that could be, Alyssum thought, trying to see if the silhouette was a male or female; maybe it could have been Niro. But, the shape seemed more feminine, which ruled out the Niro-theory. Alyssum lowered her dagger as she approached Layla from afar, so not to seem any more creepier, holding a limp hare and a weapon. "Greetings,"she called to the wolf, trying to be friendly yet a little reserved; she was right by Inferni borders, after all, and Alyssum already knew that some of her clanmates probably wouldn't like it if she treated the woman as if she was a welcomed canine when she wouldn't be. But, she doubted it would be like that.
