Snippet #1718043

Crystal jumped as she heard the thud, then froze. She closed her eyes, listening, and sighed quietly to herself with relief; something had distracted them from their little group. But what if it was one of the wolves that had distracted them? She poked her head out carefully to see. She caught the sscent, barely, of another wolf, as she saw the soldiers headed away, most likely towards the sounds. She bit her lip, then shook her head, glancing back at Shush and Viktor. "There's another wolf...we need to help..." She said, quietly. Perhaps staying in a city like that was a bad idea; she was unused to all of this running around, hiding and sneaking and hoping Gambit wouldn't find them. She had all but forgotten about Gambit in the city. "You two coming?" she asked.

She shook her head, making her way over towards where the soldiers had gone to as quietly, and as quickly, as possible. She didn't want to attract attention, after all; not when there might be something she could do to help. She could only hope she could get close enough to do anything to help. She carefully removed one of her gloves, making sure not to accidentally touch her own arm as she did. That would be a disaster, she knew, and it certainly wouldn't help the other wolf who, whether on accident or on purpose, had helped them out. She would have to sneak behind them, though, to manage anything and, even then, how could she manage to really help if she could only temporarily hamper one of them...but even that was only if she could manage to find a bit of bare skin to touch and freeze.
