Vathmos normally wasn't awake at this time, but when Aurum had asked her to go on a patrol with him, the hyena initially said no, then changed her mind and went looking for him. When she entered the marshy section of Tanglewood territory, the hyena coated herself in a fresh layer of wet mud. It caked onto her fur, obscuring her scars and spots. Vathmos never washed, so the hyena's front was regularly covered in dry blood and she smelled of rot. Mud obscured her scent from prey.
She had few interactions with Wild Dogs after being banished. They were a nuisance to her tribe, but their legs broke easy, just like everyone else. During her time in Tanglewood, she had met one other wild dog, Maya or something. It seemed she had disappeared in Vathmos' absence, too.
Vathmos had never been lost, at least that was her belief. She had, however, been abandoned. Loneliness was crippling to her, and it had drove her back to Tanglewood.
The hyena watched from cover as the scene unfolding, arriving a bit after Aurum. She laid down, head between her paws, glinting black eyes on Virgil. Vathmos watched, brow furrowing as she studied the expression. Virgil was staring at Aurum like a threat- she was calculating how to fight him. She was defensive and studying her potential threat.
That hysterical, chortling, whooping laughter erupted from her throat as the hyena stood, stepping out of the foliage to bring herself to Aurum's side, slightly infront of him. Her shoulders squared, on leg in front of the lion and the rest by his side. "It would do you good to stop looking at him like that."
