There must be so many unique smells here as opposed to their usual hunting grounds. On top of that, there was also the excitement that comes from exploring somewhere new. Perhaps she had wanted to hunt something... see what sort of prey could be found within this forest? But, it would seem as though she had found something else instead. Evidence of a large predator hunting somewhere along their path. Perhaps now it would be a good time to slow down and proceed with caution? If they knew which direction it had gone, they could also choose to alter their path to reduce the chances of encountering it. However, something was telling Zen that a fight was just what some of them were looking for. After all, you wouldn't need to bring so many weapons into the woods if you weren't planning on using them! <p style="height:0.5em;margin:0"></p><p style="height:0.5em;margin:0"></p> It had been only been a few hours in and they were already faced with a choice. Would they march into the predator's territory, or would they try and skirt around the potential danger? After a few moments of taking it slow and looking for any new signs of danger, it becomes apparent that the creature wasn't in the immediate area. There wasn't much of a point to mark a path towards a potentially dangerous area. In the worst-case scenario, the builder group would just become kitty-chow on the way to the worksite. Of course, the feral could also be a loving and cuddly type, but was that a safe assumption to make? "Alright, so... We have a few options. We can divert our path and mark a safer route, we can try and track down that feral and make the direct route safe, or we can try and sneak through and get another team to deal with it before they start using our route to move supplies. Honestly, I agree with Magnus. We still have plenty of distance to cover, and we don't know what sort of threat that feral could pose." Zen rumbles, moving closer to Sheela and taking a closer look at the tracks. In any case, they had already stepped into its hunting ground.

She looked closely at the prints, the clawless paws that would reveal their deadliness only when it was too late... she knew this kind of paws and she was a little afraid of them, because cats, whether Bengal tigers or panthers, they were all elegant and skillful predators. "Oh, Mags... you manage to make even the big dangers seem cute! But you're right, we shouldn't be sidetracked from our path and be ready.", she chuckles softly before focusing on the more important things again. "Mmh, I don't hear anything... watch the shadows and be quiet... we better not create any unwanted attention..." it rumbles softly from her lungs before she looks to the Moresson with a cheeky grin, wondering how we can't create any attention with such a mechanical warrior accompanying us. Hopefully the firepower was better than the stealth! As Zen approaches her, she gives his cheek a cursory lick before growling, "What's stopping the kitten from expanding his hunting grounds? We should continue our path and if we don't encounter him, we should hire another team to guard this path for now, until the camp is established." It was just a suggestion, but she was ready to go deeper into the wilderness, to follow the path we already decided to start with, because honestly... We didn't look like a scouting party, more like a small army ready to go into battle.

She lets out a quiet giggle before adding, "But, we are not getting paid for fighting stuff, nor petting ferals. Besides, Magnus, whypet a big cat when you can just pet Sheela. Right!"

A little relieved, she looks at Uvi and nods in agreement, the longer we would need, the more time we would waste to pursue other 'hobbies'. Patiently she stood next to Zen and waited for her bags to be filled. Maybe some dried meat, some water and the already mentioned medicines, even if she is really not able to give first aid somehow with four paws. "Damn it Mags, you're half smothering me!", she giggled as she gets caught in the tight hug, but clearly enjoyed it as her tail began to sway excitedly. "That sounds like a story you'll have to tell us on a nice night sometime! Hehe, and honestly, Zen's brewing skills are pretty good by now too~", she growls enthusiastically before adding, "But enough, we have a mission today and Zen will be leading us. Or at least he try~" Somewhat intrigued by the power armor she listens to the conversation, of course Moresson also knew this cheeky and likeable hyena and that caused an amused grin to awaken on her lips before she is snapped out of her thoughts. "Ehm... hehe. Of course I can talk... I... eeh... hope that is not a problem?", she growls insecurely and tilts her head a bit. Oh right the same reaction Uvi had shown when she had first met the little wolf...maybe she shouldn't wonder about such remarks anymore, after all she looked like a Feral, what else should she expect? When everyone else had finished as well, she followed Zen, but it wasn't long before her feral nature kicked in and she ran a little farther ahead before her nose lowered to the ground. It seemed like she was just casually continuing to follow conversations, as her twitched back and forth at the slightest sounds while she focused more on filtering the various smells.

Uvi frowns her nose and pouts her cheeks before responding to Magnus, "Hey, I'm not a noodle, nor any other food!" Anyway, she winks back at the yeen and adds, this time with a smile on her face, "Long time no see. It's good to see that you are still in the mercenary kind of business. As well you, Sheela." Somehow, she resists the urge to pet the good doggo. Uvi follows right after Zen, swaying her hips to make her tail move over dirt and grass in a wave-like motion. She keeps her eyes open for any signs of imminent danger, but she's not expecting anything out of the ordinary just now. Sure, there are a few broken branches here and there, but because they are not deep in the forest, it's nothing to be worried about. The lamia watches Sheela zoom past the group and a smirk forms on her face. Sheela will make a good scout, she thinks. However, Uvi's expression quickly changes when she hears the wolf growl. Unbuckling her firearm, she looks at the rest of the group and says, "Shh, you hear that?"

She keeps quiet but ready to fire at anything that charges them. Shoot first, ask questions later. That's her motto.
"There's a big fluffy critter around here! I want to find it and boop the snoot, but we are busy bees and can't make that kind of detour." Magnus muses as he takes a good look at the tracks they'd discovered in the immediate area. "Looks like it's some kind of kitty cat too, a big one at that!

Done with the petpats, she straightens her posture, adjusts her glasses and says, "Let's simply note it on the map and move on."
Moresson waits around while the others discuss, keeping her eyes trained on the woods around them. This time, she's paying much more attention. While she has nothing to contribute to the debate herself at this point, she does do something useful at least. She watches for any trouble.
"There is no need to cause genocide against some non-understanding wild animals. Buuuut it might come to that. Still, we aren't in a rush for anything, are we? Let's just take the scenic route and enjoy our trip through nature. I know I am not in a rush for anything, but I can't speak for all of you. That's just my two cents! Oooah..."

"I don't know much about herbs, but a berry is a berry is a berry. And this way I won't have to crunch freeze-dried ramen every day."
