Before the first scream hit the air, Delta smelled the fresh blood. She turned, her large feet digging into the ground before she ran straight for the source of the smell. Stepping on undergrowth and weaving through the trees with celerity unusual for her size, the teal theropod tilted her head as she heard Gordon's call for help. It seemed to originate from the same place as the scent of blood, so she assumed the wounded animal still lived. Good, because live prey nearly always tasted better than scavenged carrion. She'd already taken down a large boar earlier this morning, but she wouldn't turn down a vulnerable snack.
Bursting through the trees, her feet skidded to a halt - flinging dirt and mud as her momentum quickly decelerated. She smelled the crowd of Ascendants before she got to the location, but she hadn't met Washington yet. Her lips curled as she revealed her sharp, backwards-curving teeth as she smelled the creature with a few puffy inhales. The large one smelled similar to the rest of the mammal packs - and seemed similar in species, albeit larger, than the three creatures here she interacted with previously.
And, of course, the large one's face and front-half of his body seemed covered in a shiny substance. Looking at it reminded her of the cages she knew and the humans' technology. Until now, the remnants of the human's technology in the Ascendants' territory bothered her little - due to the decrepit state and lack of familiarity with her past experiences. But this one's second skin reminded her of the humans' machines and weapons. Forgetting about the injured snack, her dark eyes remained focused on Washington's armor as she took a step closer to him.
Growl in her throat, she flexed her claws as she took a dominant stance, tail lashing behind her. This one seemed half her size and not worth the effort of calling the pack for backup. For now, she spent the next few seconds analyzing Washington's body and trying to decide what to attack; she knew the shiny human bits often proved impenetrable to her teeth. Despite her hatred towards the armor in particular, it seemed the fleshy bits provided the best targets.
