"Alright, the females are already out on the hunt and the guardian just passed. Its now or never." Evaline moved forward crouched down. At first slow but started to speed up as she came nearer to the cave. She heard a twig snap and held her hand up to tell Rin to stop where he was. The Alfort that was left behind to guard the cubs stepped out from the tree line, sniffing the air. Heart pounding, Evaline kept very still, but tense enough to run if the female detected them.
Relief washed over her as the Alfort sneezed and continued walking and eventually walked back into the forest. Evaline waved Rin to follow her again once she lost sight of the beast. Once they reached the cave and Rin reached her, she said,
"There shouldn't be any hurry on picking the cub, I will let you know if that changes. Like I said earlier, the cubs will be friendly and curious with you. You will know which cub is the right one for you." With an encouraging smile Evaline waved Rin into the cave.
