Above her, her crow companion called out, the white bird circling a little ways away. There was another hunting. Marrow's ears flicked up, eyes scouting until she saw an albino woman not too far off. Her companion cawed, seeking the attention of the albino raven in the sky. Marrow met the woman's eyes and she gave a little nod of greeting before slinking closer. The benefit of having such cat-like paws meant she could stalk over the mountain side without risking her claws striking rock and alerting their prey to her movements. "Are you after the wounded goat?" she whispered. "We can share. Let me get above it and I can drive it down toward you. Then we both can feast."
With her plan delivered Marrow began stalking toward the herd, giving them a reasonably wide berth as she sought to get above the heard. Her crow lingered where she had been, flying a different directly and heading toward the herd to act as a distraction if needed. The goats didn't pay much mind to the scavenger and instead continued their activities. When Marrow was at last in position, she looked to her crow who cawed out loudly. At that moment she leapt down, powerful shoulders absorbing the shock as she raced toward the goats. At first they didn't seem to notice til one bleated out loudly and the herd went scattering. Marrow ignored the well creatures, instead focusing on the wounded male. He dodged to the left but with a sharp turn, her tail flagging out behind her, she was able to get above it and force it down the mountain side.
