climbing walls out of resentment

Feel free to have Null pick up the trail! One sheep will have been killed by a falling tree and the others are hiding together in the forest. :3

Hunting was something that Salvia had always excelled at, in no small part due to her teachers. She was a highly intelligent woman who not only knew the landscape and her own body well, but was quick enough to adapt with very little resistance. It was this that promised her success on this hunt. She could not smell nor hear (and her sight was buffeted by wind and rain and grit) but she hunkered low to the ground and imagined the sheep, in their panic, and where they might have gone.

Salvia hardly noticed that Null had left her, so thick was the rain, and pushed on. Much to her chagrin, there was an obvious trail ahead—the earth was so roughly overturned that it could not have been caused by anything but hooves. She made to follow this when a cry sounded behind her. The word were lost in the wind, but Salvia turned. Her pale hair whipped about her head, and she cursed the weather without speaking aloud.

Null had managed to find what looked like a half-drowned lamb, and pleased with this, Salvia hastened towards her. She was moving without stopping to think, and hurried to tie a loose slipknot around the animal’s neck. “I will carry it for now; it will slow us down otherwise,” she cried over the storm, close enough to Null that her words were not lost. “They went that way!” The Boss further indicated, and pointed towards the trail ahead. The animals were fleeing as a group, which would make collecting them an easy task…with any luck.
