A stranger? Oh Dear

Again she listened as Naiche went through various things. No beaver. Raccoons elsewhere. Search for the scent that was getting stronger. Okay. She could do this. Rue lowered her nose to the ground again, closing her eyes so that she could focus only on smell. "I can smell... something." She took a few steps forward, eyes still closed. "It seems to be getting stronger but I still can't tell if it's a rabbit. Maybe once I see it to connect the scent to the sight?" The deer-like girl cast him a questioning glance with her giant blue eyes. She wanted to know whether or not she was doing well.

The pair moved along and Rue continued to focus on the smell. Eventually Naiche stopped and she stopped before she slammed into him. Peering around the side of the golden wolf, Rue fixed her gaze upon the small, long eared creature sitting near a tree. Again she listened to instruction. Chase the rabbit. Don't catch it. Just like... a sibling? Rue screwed up her features for a moment. She'd never had a sibling. Instead she imagined it might be like chasing her father's tail when she was a young pup.

Taking a breath, Rue bunched her muscles and sprang. Without any sort of plan or an ounce of hunterly decorum, the leggy girl ran after the rabbit. The little creature was startled and jumped straight up into the air. It kicked its feet, startling Rue in return. The girl skittered backwards, eyes wide. By the time she regained her composure, the rabbit was already dashing through the trees. With a silent curse, Rue ran after it. She tucked her ears against her skull to keep them from getting caught on the various hanging vines and branches. Her eyes remained locked on the little creature. Hey, she was doing it! She was chasing! Rue looked over her shoulder to give Naiche an excited look. Big mistake. Tripping over some of the many mangrove roots, Rue went flying head first into one of the many waterways that littered the area. The murky liquid swallowed her up completely.
