Who's Laughing Now?

Mismatched eyes look around the land that the ferry connects to and Strix takes a moment to marvel at the large aspens and river that winds its way through the area. A mischievous smile tugs at his lips as the boy strikes out to do his job. It is his first time here alone and the black and gray boy is determined to make the most of it. But first, he needs to patrol. Paws turn to carry him along the border and he moves at a fast clip, eager to finish so he can go explore.

Strix works quickly reinforcing scent markers as he goes and only stopping when an unfamiliar scent reaches his nose. The rains have returned to the land and predators have been on the move to seek out shelter. Lifting his nose, he carefully pulls in the scent and realizes it isn’t just one animal but multiple. Not wanting to lose his privileges to the dam, the boy howls out a request for help before charging toward where the predators are.

A weird, laughing cackle fills the air as he gets closer and a cluster of strange dog-like creatures come into view. Having never seen a hyena, Strix wonders what the heck these things are as he races in to bite at the closet one.
