Like Scald, Rexx didn’t have a clue why their sister wandered so far from home. Was she taken? Kidnapped by some loner? The memory of that one creepy, moldy-looking wolf came to mind, and as he glanced up at the horizon where the lake met solid land again, he grimaced. It was possible..but also not. That evil guy’s scent was nowhere to be found. He had to surmise that Deluge had picked her way over here on her own, but why here of all places? Mud squelched beneath his large toes, and he shifted in place to keep himself from sinking more into the boggy ground as he narrowed his gaze and attempted to catch another whiff of the faintest scent trail he’d captured. He heard Scald say something under his breath - was he really right? There were no guarantees. After all, she could’ve wandered off the trail entirely, and the remainders of her being cluld very well a fluke, and not a direct path to where she was. But he had to take a chance. Better to take some risk than give up entirely. When Scald inquired if his scent trail - faint as it was - lead up further ahead, crossing towards the top of the lakeshore, Rexx nodded. "It’s the only trail I could pick up,” He replied, and like his brother, he lowered his nose to the slippery earth, careful not to inhale the sloppy mud as he inhaled and captured the trail. Still keeping his head lowered, he crept carefully across the shoreline, his head jerking up suddenly as the strange quacking birds floated by on the water’s surface. He narrowed his gaze and as his quilled brother mentioned if she could’ve disappeared here, glancing suspiciously at those weird looking birds, Rexx frowned. He, too, was suspicious about those birds, but he knew Deluge was strong. She could take on a few pesky birds, even at their age. "She might’ve moved up further along the shoreline, since I can still scent where she’s been,” He said softly, as if careful not to startle the birds floating - rather menacingly, he believed - on the lapping waters nearby. "C’mon, let’s keep going. Maybe it’ll get stronger,” He said, glancing towards his lankier brother with a slight, reassuring smile. With that, he turned his attention back to the direction he was headed, lowering his head and tracking the trsil the best he could. He could only hope Scald could follow. They needed to stay safe, too, or else they wouldn’t be able to track their sister. |
