Soon a swarm of clanmates had gathered around the carnage as if moths circling a lantern. The multiple bodies now in his way didn't make it any easier for his nearsighted eyes to pinpoint the trap's stake. Seeing as how using the shape of a deer was inefficient and cumbersome, Beck quietly shrunk himself back down to the feline apparition of what they all were familiar with, patting around on the blood-spattered mud to find the stake. Finally, a red-slick paw brushed against something wooden, and the poltergeist moved forward to grab at it.
It didn't take much prompting from Nayru for him to yank the stake out of the mud, loosening the snare's wires and assumedly dropping Hati into waiting arms. Outstretching a paw to slide the loop of wire once tightened around the cub's paw off, Beck was left to wordlessly fall back with the snare remants entangled around his own limbs. Coiling the wire back into a portable bundle was a welcome distraction for him even though the commander's glassy stare burned into everyone present, uncertain if he had registered anything before him or if he was in shock. Hati didn't deserve to be mauled, did she? Beck listened for the usual morbid and apathetic response from the voice dwelling inside his skull, yet to his surprise, no one answered. Temporary relief, at least.
