it's cold as shit, but what else is new? Spider hums a jaunty, meandering tune under their breath as they plod through the snow-laden ground, weaving between tree trunks and savouring the scent of pine in the air. the sky is a pale yellow shot through with hints of pink, slowly lightening as dawn transitions to day. it's pretty, and they're gazing admiringly into the distance when a black shape swoops overhead and cuts across their field of vision with an abrasive squawk. "what is it, Doom?" they mutter, brushing his wings aside. the raven huffs and alights on their shoulder, clicking his beak in impatient chatter. Spider straightens, all their previous nonchalance melting away in a practiced hunting stance. "a horned creature? where?"
following the bird's directions, they're soon able to spot a smooth, brown hide and a pair of tall antlers. stepping lightly, they creep closer and part their mouth, letting the scent bathe their tongue. buck - and a rather young one, by the look of it. a young adult, perhaps, stretching its legs as it relishes its new freedom. Spider smirks to themselves and hunkers down behind a tree trunk, trying to keep their dark pelt from view. a pity, really, but the pack has to eat.
