shine bright like a [ diamond. ]

There was silence rather than a response, and Havoc was beginning to wonder if she’d been seeing things—things that the sighthound and the herbivore had seen instead. She huffed a sigh, one that was both resigned and relieved; the female Luperci hadn’t been a product of her imagination, but it didn’t seem like they’d be sticking around, either. Maybe they were shy, or they had somewhere better to be, or they hadn’t heard her at all. Anything was fine with her.

Calloway came to stand beside her and lifted a brow, pointedly staring at the empty space of foliage where the other canine had once been. “Good go—”

“Shut up,” Havoc growled.

The lurcher shrugged. “I’m just say—”

“Shut up,” she growled again, and shook her head with a wry frown to soften the blow. “I don’t want to deal with this right now, anyway; we’ve got to get through these mountains if we want to—ahh!”

The little call from behind them had Havoc whirling around, nearly losing balance, her voice edging upwards into its normal range in shock. Bristling and now in a decidedly worse mood, she narrowed her red eyes at the source of the noise before confirming it wasn’t a hallucination with a glance at Calloway, who at this point was bewilderedly adjusting his trilby.

“Show yourself,” the jackal-dog barked in the direction of the vegetation, very much resisting the urge to fidget or add empty threats to the command; she couldn’t very well defend himself if the person or persons playing hide-and-seek were doing so for less-than-honorable reasons. “Dhenu, come back,” she added, suppressing a whine, as the dairy cow stared into the foliage.

Dhenu ignored the order, though, and lazily stepped toward the bushes and began to nudge at them with her nose before beginning to browse.
