The scent of blood in the air caught Ivy's attention almost as soon as entered the grove of wildberry bushes. She'd made a point of stealing away in the middle of the night to explore the lands around Kesali's claimed territories. Somehow tonight's adventure had taken her further south than she'd anticipated, her paws carrying her over a vast sand-bridge that seemed to jut out into the middle of the ocean. Though she'd been hesitant as to what she'd find on the other sight - she'd crossed it just as night fell over the lands, obscuring anything she might otherwise be able to see in the distance. She braced herself against the bitter autumn wind as it whipped at her coat, only finding reprieve from the ocean air once she fully crossed the Bifrost and made it toward the grove.

The scent of sweet berries was strong in the air as she veered through the dense foliage, assaulting her nose and temporarily masking the stench of blood nearby. Once she caught wind of it, though, she found it difficult to ignore. If there was a threat this close to Kesali - okay, it wasn't that close at all, but close enough for comfort - she wanted to find out what it was. Without a hint of wariness in her step she navigated the unknown territory quietly, searching for the source of the smell. Only did her curiosity sate slightly when she saw the silhouette of something up ahead, seemingly smack dab in the middle of a mess of bushes. After a moment of thoughtful consideration, maintaining a safe distance, the slender female finally spoke up. "Who's winning, the bush or you?" Judging by the scent of blood in the air and the way she seemed to be engulfed by the brambles, she could only assume this stranger wasn't exactly coming out victorious yet.
