Snippet #1228531

Avis tried to be more careful as he moved, feeling Nzuri leaning close to him as he moved faster through the empty streets. He bounded onward, heading for the edge of the town. It was so close now. He still kept a careful eye out for any troops that may have been lingering around, though that wasn't what made him come to a sudden halt. The opening of the town was strewn with the dead body of animals, the stench of death like a punch in the stomach.

Avis backed up a little, a little growl escaping him that was more like a gasp. He glanced over his shoulder to Nzuri, unsure of what to do. There were so many bodies, he couldn't avoid them with his paws. He edged from left to right, trying to ignore the scent of rotting that was filling his sensitive nose.
He stopped again as he spotted a figure carrying the body of a large tiger, maybe a little larger than himself. Another tiger was close by, though this one was alive. He wondered what was going on over there, though didn't want to move closer, trying to avoid stepping on the bodies of the dead animals.

His round ears flickered back and forth as the girl suddenly shouted out, wanting to know who was close by. Had she already sensed that they were close by. If they could see her and the tiger, perhaps she had spotted them too? They didn't seem to be looking the right way though. Avis was unsure whether Nzuri would want them to be noticed by them, and so was unsure whether to answer or not, looking to her again, anothe slight moan escaping him as he wondered whether she knew what he was checking with her for.
