Their journey back had been unfortunately boring. Several times one of them had thought they had caught something, but it ended up being either a hallucination born of exasperation or else was quickly lost on the wind. Ripples of Light's lips curled the longer they went on without anything - but that was why they were trying a different area now. Hopefully better luck would be found there.
"I can say for sure they're around the pack lands," she said at some point as she viciously stamped through some brush. They had reached a clearing with seemingly no evidence in sight, so she felt comfortable being a little petulant. "I found hoof prints. I bet all the wolves scouring for them might have made them more skittish now, though."

((final word count - 624))
Heading back, he kept thinking of a witty comeback to his sister saying that he smelled, but he though best of he just kept his muzzle shut. It was not until they return and started to head into a different direction that his sister finally started to explain that she had found prints earlier but that she thought they would have been obscured by others.
Thinking that was quite true, he looked off into the clearing in a different direction then his sister had been leading them. That's when he started to some marks in the trees. "Over here sis." Breaking away from her he jogged over to the trees, only to have his eyes fall upon the hoofprints that laid on the ground. "Looks like the change of direction was a good thing."
The scent was fading, but he was sure his sister and himself could track down the prey in no time.

She perked at possible signs of progress but tried to keep it low key - Rip had a persona to maintain after all, and after her puppylike giddiness from her solo adventure earlier...best to keep everything reigned in or risk looking like an idiot.
Following Wrinkles in Time's lead, the she-wolf turned and investigated the area. Rink was definitely onto something, but Ripples of Light continued to turn up nothing as she sniffed about.
"Faint," she muttered. Not an excuse, a truth. She wasn't bad at tracking, damn it, yet it seemed to be an off day for her. "But it's a good sign, I guess. Lead on."

He was happy that he had found the prints, he could not take his sister holding it over his head that she had found more prints when he had. With her acknowledgment, he started forward in the direction of the hoofprints, then all but disappeared in front of him as they reached a section of the dense part of the forest. "The run out here."
Sniffing the air, the scent had all but evaporated. He was unsure if they should continue forward or split off to the left or right. "What do you think Rip? Left, right, or forward?" Taking another sniff, he looked at the brush around him. Nothing had appeared broken off or pushed through.

A soft growl left her at Wrinkles in Time's question. Contemptible creatures, these deer...They were dancing around Deep territory, and for what? To taunt them? Because they were stupid or brave, or both? What else might they be thinking other than to irritate her specifically? Rip's teeth flashed as she moved past her brother, hazel eyes boring into the ground for even a trace of hoof prints. All she could divine was their own.
"Split up and meet at the middle in two minutes," she ordered. "I'll take left, you right. One hundred feet apart." With that order given, knowing her brother would listen, Ripples of Light trotted forward.

As his sister passed by him, he started off to the right of his position, jogging through the overgrown bush, yet trying to stay as quiet as possible. At some parts, it seemed like the brush was just getting denser and denser. There's no way deer got through here without ripping through the bushes. Stopping for a second to peer underneath the bush, he noticed that there was nothing, nothing at all. This was a wild crow chase at this point. Maybe they were not moving yet this spring and although he had just found that rutted tree, this was not the direction they went.
With one last look, he started to head a bit to the left to see if he missed anything on the way in.

Concentrate...and deep breaths. Rip licked at her lips as she perused her sector. The two of them were closer to where she had originally begun hunting for the herd, so maybe, with a little luck and more than a little skill...
There! She caught a scent and bee-lined for it, keeping quiet until she could see the extent. A small clump of fur was caught in this low hanging branch, and inwardly she crowed. Finally, some proof they were on the right track.
Ripples of Light paused and gave two short barks over her shoulder, a signal to her brother to come to her area, before moving on.

As he was searching the last little bit on his way back to the spot where his sister and himself first left each other, he heard two yips in the direction she had traveled. "She must have found something." Quietly jogging towards where the yips had traveled from, he kept his eyes open for anything on the way towards her.
Nothing.
When he came upon his sister he started to look around to what she was eyeing "So left it was.." With a deadpanned look and voice to match, he looked at the evidence of deer nearby. "A tuff of hair.... good find."
Looking around, he waited for her to continue forward, in the direction of the scent.

"Better than what you found."
Was it really better than tracks? Probably not in the grand scheme of things. But Rip wouldn't be Rip if she didn't goad someone at least once a day, least of all her brother the walking target.
Of course, their good luck didn't last, and what she thought had been a hot trail once again cooled. Ripples of Light remembered her deep breaths, but her hackles were beginning to stiffen in spite of her efforts.
"Little wonder most hunts occur in groups," she muttered. Of course, she refused to share the glory - it was taxing enough working with family.

"Better than what you found..." He said in a condescending tone, mocking her finishing with a snapping of his jaws towards her. Giving her some shifty eyes, he started to look around once more. It seemed that she had lost the scent just as fast as she had found it, which gave him great pleasure but also greater annoyance.
"Are we being had?" He ignored her last comment. It had seemed like something was just running back and forth, leaving little hints here and there and then just vanishing. With a growl he started forward slowly, standing there obviously was not going to help them find anything.
