He rose early, as was his want. The cool dark air kissed a rugged frame, disheveled dark locks falling in unruly abandon over the criminal apple green of the male's eyes. He walked on light feet, a bipedal form used that meant the male was not hunting. He had set snares a few days prior, and wished to see if they had been successful - The hunter was working on a better design for the small traps, and although he preferred to catch prey with his own jaws it was a suitable method for feeding when the rest of his time was occupied.
The mountain ranges were a suitable spot for finding his preferred prey, the hare. It was these that the traps were designed to catch; anything smaller, such as a mouse, would not trigger the rope snare, and anything larger, such as a deer, would be able to pull free of it.
The first few traps he examined were laying in the pristine condition they had been set in - Untouched by any prey. He disassembled them, putting the pieces into a woven bag that he had traded for with rabbit-skins the previous spring. Dismayed, but not entirely surprised, the male then went on to find a snare that had been trampled by deer, now broken and useless. He did not bother to retrieve this one, instead readjusting the meager weight of the bag over one shoulder and continuing on.
Sirius never did reach the final snare. His attention was stolen by a faint scent; it was vaguely familiar, and made him think of the Infernian woman he had met a few days prior. Some snooping and sniffing took him to the edge of the plateau, where a disturbing sight lay in wait - The Fae was sprawled on the cold rock, near to the cliff edge and the jagged drop below. She was not moving - Dead? He could not see the rise and fall of her chest from this distance, and so approached nearer.
The bag was dropped to announce his presence, and a light clearing of his throat incase that was not enough. The hunter's eyes looked over her warily, enticed by the golden hair that spilled out around her head in a parody of a halo.
