They purred as they walked, grateful to hear the joy in her voice before Sam's scent rapidly approached them, their ears laying back as their tail lashed. bandits! fighting back a growl, the jaguar bristled, fur rising along their spine and tail bushing at the base as they turned their head to asteri before looking back at sam. "crap. you two stay together and try to keep up. we'll have to check out the houses!" they growled out, bunching their muscles to leap over sam and asteri, having pivoted on their toes, landing in the mud before streaking off. black body against the harsh outline of the rain, they took a deep breath, calling upon the air around them, drawing in air from the sea to create a blast of air around the other two, meant to clear their view of the ground, "don't lose your footing on the cliffside!" they roared, claws digging into the muck as they launched their body further along the path. it didn't matter if the bandits were their people or not, they could not, in good conscience let them die a brutal death such as that.

stopping as they reached the split in the pathways, they sucked in a deep breath, catching the terror scent that the bandits left behind, their trail streaking up the path towards the top of the cliff face. exhaling with a snarl, they felt some amount of hope and relief before their instincts kicked in and they tore off after the scent trail, not keen on losing a trail that could potentially be the end of their troubles. they didn't know what was going to happen, they only hoped that they could keep on the trail of the bandits.
