don't eat the yellow snow

Mortis kept his head hidden against the base of the tree, his tail flicking behind him in motion to his counting, as he at first spoke them out, then whispered then, then uttered them in his mind. One hundred... Ninety nine... and so on, until finally he hit ‘one’

One he did, he raised his head, and looked about him, and found of course no evidence of hide or hair of her. Well not terribly hopeful, he followed her scent trail. It took him to the stream, and when he waddled in, wincing and pulling faces, to the other wise, he walked up and down it, looking for her exit scent.

He didn’t find it anywhere close by, and he knew her scent trail wasn’t going to help him much here. Frowning thoughtfully, he called to his companions, who were still waiting by the tree, head turned so they could not see which way she had gone. “Alright, Saph, head upstream” he told the Kea, “And Osiris, stay by the tree, keep your eyes peeled.” he told the leopard

He searched for any sign of disturbance, any indication that a prey animal had run from something. He found her scent again some miles downstream, quite by accident. He had made good time, and hadn’t wasted it wading through water. He paused, listening to the woods, and heard the sound of a bird as it flew suddenly through the trees, disturbed by something. He moved cautiously in the direction it had emerged, scenting and searching for her.
