No wind, but a light drizzle already had soaked Zhen's thin coat. Her black nose dropped once more down into the shrubs, but still nothing. While the light rain would help keep her scent from reaching her prey, it also made it a little more difficult to search out scents as they were also washed away and hidden. A sigh left the tan muzzle as her ears twitched in annoyance. This is not working...guess I will just have to hope I see something before it sees me. Small paws moved over the grass, her striped form moving quickly over the top of the next hill. Once at the top, Zhen took a look around. A valley was off to the far left of where she stood and hills towards the right with more open space straight ahead. A glance back showed no one else so Zhen right now was on her own to take something down if she wanted to take something back for the pack. Another wolf would be helpful though, Zeth had said something about a pup joining her and Koli and learning how to hunt, but that had been awhile ago now.
She had no idea where either of them currently were at so it was just her out here. With her mind now made up, Zhen got up and headed off to the left, moving at a jog. If she could find a place to lie and wait until something was below her, she would have a better chance of taking it down herself. It took near two hours once she reached the valley to find a good place to lie and wait. It was a small ledge overlooking a small stream, the main worry was all the rocks around it through. One bad slip could kill her until a thrashing body, but if she could take something down, they might help kill temselves on the rocks. As the day wore on, the rain kept up. It was neither harder or less than before and so Zhen just allowed the sound of the rain and stream to soothe her mind and towards evening her ears were pricked and she was dozing quietly. Now it was only a waiting game, either she would get lucky or she would have to move on.
