Maybe start with him catching her scent. An extremely recent scent. Just having him there would kind of be like skipping a scene in a movie. Even a simple connecting sentence can make a world of difference. And I need to get Thea caught up time-wise. Where I left her is at dark. You have him at dawn. So, perhaps end with him engaging her on a trail? Then I will end with her reactions, which would put us at the same times with them... Hope that made sense.
