Shenyo grinned, not entirely innocently. The predator in him was as clear as day as she asked her question, sharp eyes looking into hers. Whatever fatigue had been with him had been washed away by their appearance.<br/><br/>"They're alone here, this is our luck, not our misfortune." Turning away he started softly after them. "Vlad, his voice sounds familiar. He may have been one of the three that ambushed me. I don't recognize the other." There was no fear in his voice. Instead it was analytical. If they were to destroy their enemies it was best to know everything about them. If that failed, at least getting the drop on them would help.<br/><br/>Shenyo drew quieter as they began to catch up to them. It seemed the dense foliage kept the sun off of them, though it was curious how they had arrived here in the first place. Indirect sunlight was uncomfortable for them, but not dangerous. It simply implied the threat of direct sunlight that was so close by. For nobles such as these however, they definitely knew what they were doing. The real question was whether they realized their prey could fight back, and was far more dangerous than they were given credit for.<br/><br/>The noise of the waterfall grew louder as they trailed their hunters, Shenyo guiding Lydia with his hand as he kept her just behind him. His tail was also wrapped around her waist just once to help tell her silently where to stand. It did indeed seem like the forest was helping them. Roots lowered and underbrush moved aside to create as little sound as possible, and to provide as little effort to them in their travels.<br/><br/>Suddenly Vlad stumbled again, and shouted with swears. "I saw it move in front of me! We are going to burn this entire forest down!" He stomped down on the root, snapping the still living wood off with little effort. Shenyo pulled Lydia back behind a tree with him just as he tripped to hide them from sight.<br/><br/>"Get their attention. Hurt them if you can. I won't let them get to you." He whispered to her before climbing up the tree with his claws extended just a couple inches. In moments he was in the foliage above, and out of her sight. It seemed he had a plan, but these were still powerful opponents in front of them. Would it be enough?
