Chrysanthe's attack was definitely a surprise to Odette. A great yelp was born to the foggy atmosphere around them, followed by an angry expression that no one could see. Her brows had furrowed over her eyes while Chrysanthe spoke, but her anger silently disappeared into the foggy air around them. The surprise pounce was something Odette should have been ready for. Even though the Gamma was her mother, the Epsilon was not pleased with how low her defenses had gone. It was something she had to work on. Before she could verbally respond, Chrysanthe was swallowed by the fog. Odette stomped her right hind paw with a vengeance, even though it was silenced by the dampness of the ground. At that point, she didn't even care if her fur got dirty. Vanity was something Odette wasn't primarily concerned with, but she still liked to look nice when the occasion called for it. She shook such thoughts out of her mind and proceeded to concentrate on the task at hand: getting her mother back. "You're right." Odette replied, taking pursuit after her mother. She tried to sniff the thick air for the female's scent, but it didn't get her very far. Instead, she watched the air from where Chrysanthe had disappeared and noticed the outline of fog that had moved from the barrier being broken. Red and blue eyes looked at the ground and saw the pawprints of where the female had been standing. Silently, she followed the trail and then started to try and calculate the best angle to get to her mother. The plan would be hard to work out, considering she wasn't used to the layout of the land. Softly, Odette walked next to the trail that was still fresh and pondered how to move around the unseen Gamma. As she walked, she tried to look and listen for details that others would not think of seeing. It was then that Odette found her mother's weakness: her respirations. Chrysanthe's breathing was something that could not be stopped for long periods and with this new tactic in mind, Odette silently moved past her mother to get her from the front. She waited beside a bush that would become obvious by sight once her mother walked ahead far enough. Odette curled into a ball, her black and gray fur matching the color of the shrub beside her. When she saw Chrysanthe walking past her, she counted to three and pounced from her mother's left side. A fake roar was given and her front paws met the woman's shoulder. Odette gave her a puppy tackle and nuzzled her neck. "I can't wait to use it. Our enemies will have a hard time here." I speak |
