Break the Seal

Snow barely made a sound under her steps. Carefully placed in certain areas with familiarity stored inside her mind. Used to lands such as these where the wrong step would lead to someone's end. She was fairly aware of her surroundings. Ears moving to every sound drifting in their direction. Trapped in the hunt as her nose pushed through an indentation in the white earth. Hanmel almost missed his words. Flickering ocean eyes to acknowledge his words with a nod.

As one, their heads snapped to a seal resting. Mel paying attention to the distance between it and the water's edge. Much like her father had taught her, she scanned what spots could be used for hiding. Some trees were available. A few large pillars of ice for shielding them away. Or, mainly herself. The colossal of a man would not be able to hide much of himself. Even with a stalking form, she could not image him being completely out of sight.

Hanmel tossed her head in opposite ends of the seal. Her voice soft. Barely an audible whisper. Had he not been so close he wouldn't have heard. "Go left. I'll go right. We'll corner it. Leave me to try and veer it away from the water." She didn't wait for him to answer as she moved into position. Her small frame easily slinking across the snow and disappearing behind one of the pillars.
