A one eyed shadow peered through the undergrowth and watched as and abnormally large man and some pup slowly ascend up the length of a tree. 'that branch is rotted and dry...' she thought, amused as the eager pup reached out a grimy hand to grasp onto the branch. The crouching mountain lion's ears perked up as she heard the branch crack beneath the child's weight. 'foolish child...'
Surprise sparked in her eye when the large man leapt off of his own branch and took the blunt of the blow to the ground. A soft crack heralded the snapping of a rib or two, but Guinevere stayed where she was even after a half-starved female made her appearance. The cougar could have easily taken on both, even in her injured state, but something was rooting her to her position.
When they left, she followed, stalking behind them as silently as a shadow. The female was the big one's long lost mate -how cute- but the young pup did not seem to belong to either. At one point the wolf pup broke off from the others and ran towards a cabin on he outskirts of the community. After no small amount of waiting and watching, Guinevere found that the wolf pup belonged to one of the wolves she had attacked a while ago.
Not only that, but he was a healer. This would be useful. The tawny shadow took a step towards the cabin, but was forced to retreat back into the bushes when she saw the healer-wolf returning to the cabin.
Instead, she decided to turn her attention to the sound of a wolf noisily chasing a small creature through the undergrowth...
'This will do...' She thought as she saw the unmistakable form of the towering human lumbering towards the sounds of the chase.
