At the Elite's orders, the aberrant gave a a brief nod of acknowledgment before shifting her wingspan and tail feathers to plummet further down without even giving the other ranger a second glance back. She had fulfilled in finding an extra set of wings for help in their mission, and whatever orders that he received is currently no business of hers. Weaving through the branches, she discovered an area to easily level herself parallel to the ground, and does so, sweeping widely, and quietly, with her wing strokes.
Now in a better position to peruse the territory, Sandstorm scanned the Below [and then some] and found herself seeing the same situation as before: nothing. No birds flitting and darting about the branches and shrubbery, no scurrying rodents on the forest floor, or, well, anything. It's a little too quiet, especially after such a large storm where life should be thriving and re-building what was lost.
It's rather eerie.
Another long swoop found her in the direction to reunite with the other two, until something caught her attention from up above. In an instant, she looped around grasped at a tree's branch with her talons; it was better to have a clearer view than to trust her judgement on something she saw in passing. Folding her wings and smoothing down her feathers, she darted a few looks up above and noticed it immediately: an unusual break in the canopy.
What in Noctua? Still unsure of what to think, she opened her wings and pushed herself off to get a closer [but not too close] look.

Unfortunately, Stormbringer will have to wait a while longer to soothe his curious mind - there are no answers forthcoming, as Wildcraft simply shakes his head briskly. Now is not the time, that much is clear.
There have been a few such breaks in the canopy, but is definitely the largest. Wildcraft had been taking careful note of them as he passed each one, and a mild sense of unease is growing within him. The stars. He can see the stars, clearly, without even climbing too high into the canopy.
"Halt," comes the clear cry, and the Elite signals for the Ghost to converge on Sandstorm's position. He backwings gently to come to a landing on a higher perch, canting his head to the side. "What do you see?" An odd request, to be sure - it's a hole in the canopy. That's pretty damn obvious.
But why is there a hole?
And more importantly, why does it matter? There's no sign of battle, no sign of a struggle. No broken branches or scrapes in the bark. It's just... a hole.
((Feel free to PM me to tell me what your character would do, and I can tell you what they notice.))
