"What are--"
"Shut up, Gar…" Puula whispered, glancing at the lynx just ahead of her.
Gar was smug but said nothing as he followed behind Vloz and brandished an unsatisfied expression toward the jaguar at his side.
Vloz noticed Gar's attitude and demeanor, keeping an eye on him but not focusing on the matter. He was concerned with moving ahead and tracking down their targets, the purpose of their immediate expedition.
It was about mid-day when Vloz finally slowed and came to a halt. Without a word, Vloz sniffed and scoured the immediate surroundings.
"They--"
Holding his tail up in front of Gar's face, Vloz shook his head in silence. Glancing at each party member, the leopard then offered a slow but steady nod. The beasts quickly understood what they had found but now Liz also understood they were close.
