"Somebody's feeling snippy," Merle said with a giggle. "It's much more fun that way, but fine. I'll send Coronis scouting instead, if it'll make you feel better." She held an arm out again, which her crow shortly after perched on, as was their habit. A few whispered words later and it was in flight once more, quickly soaring up high enough to be nearly out of view, and flying in large circles around them.<br/><br/>Coronis would be able to contact her if she spotted anything, so Merle stayed focused on her own vision, partly following after Gabriel but diverging from the path a bit. They would cover more ground that way, since all she would be doing otherwise is retracing his steps, and it was unlikely someone like him would miss anything in the first place. Between the three of them, even a rat could scarcely move without being spotted.
