Marrow

Whirling around to face her the boy first looked ready for battle before relaxing and addressing her. She gathered his name was Red and that he was hunting. Excellent! She had a chance at a warm meal. Her first one in awhile. She followed his gaze as it flickered into the brush, right where the scent was leading. Marrow licked her lips and nodded as the boy spoke very simply, stating they'd split up and hunt it. "Yes, deal." Her claws flexed before she sheathed them entirely and started to slink into the deeper area of the underbrush.

Marrow's cat-like paws allowed her to stalk almost silently as she worked to get on the other side of their prey. That way when the pup initiated his attack she'd be able to cut off the deer's escape. Marrow had to move carefully to make sure she remained hidden. Soon she was on the other side of the deer. Her legs coiled beneath her, ready to spring at the opportune moment.
