"Keep behind me," Shura tells her, making a quick motion with her hand. She makes no sound as she moves deeper into the woods, slowly taking in the surrounding area and trying to locate the source of the noises. A third crack, and then a fourth, this time smaller. She can hear something or somethings moving just beyond them--

Oh. It's a deer. A doe and her fawn, both freezing on spotting two potential predators approach. Shura groans, dragging a hand through her bangs. "Better than a thief, I guess."
