Delvin - Scout - Exiles
While Delvin was relieved to hear Gallow's diagnosis, the bay scout's reprieve didn't last long. The spotted stallion suddenly went rigid, and his eyes were glued to something behind Delvin. Slowly, he turned to face a ragged looking Peridium Moose and her gangly calf, both of which might as well have been licking their chops considering the look they were giving the group. Specifically Outlaw.
Outlaw, who'd insisted he could walk for the time being, and who was now taking a few deliberate steps in the creatures' direction.
"Not another step, Outlaw!" Delvin whispered harshly, putting himself in between the fiery guard and the pair of moose, trying to keep an eye on both at the same time. "You're in no condition to fight, let alone walk. Let us take care of this problem," he insisted, giving the other stallion a critical look before turning to Gallow and Khazada. "If we can drive off the mother, the calf will follow. Are you all up for another fight?" he asked bluntly, silently hoping the exhausted team could muster the last of their strength. The alternative decision didn't look good.
"I think we're best off stickin' in a group," he directed at Amarante, who wasn't looking all that stable herself. Surely a moose would be easier to drive off than two Ash Bears, but starvation drove predators to full-out mania sometimes, especially when there was a mother and her young involved.
