Tae smiled at the thought of actually making Ampere or Gaucho jump. She was sure that whatever prop they used to frighten their parents would end up on fire, electrocuted, or both. But it would be worth it, if only to prove that the twins were not just mere children playing with their toys in the giant sandbox of the Throat. They were a force to be reckoned with, even as fillies.
Tae nodded in agreement as Grusha indicated that whoever it was they picked as their bait, they shouldn't be from the Dragon's Throat. In principle the mandible-marked girl shared Gaucho's views that the Throat was a family, but in practice, she thought a few could be cut from their ranks. Even so, Grusha was right, if only for simplicities sake.
Hence why the forest made such good hunting grounds.
Just as Tae was about to charge after Mal, she felt Grusha's nose pressing against her shoulder, and it made her halt in her tracks. Her delicate dark ears were pricked forward, desperately trying to pinpoint any sound associated with the flashes of light.
"What-" She whispered, before promptly shutting her mouth so as not to scare away what might become their bait. Instead she nodded in agreement, and peered forward next to Grusha to spy the pale hybrid seemingly shooting parts of a tree, into a tree. Tae, who had never seen arrows before, just assumed that they were long, narrow branches. But nothing in the girl's mind supported the notion that an arrow + a tree = frost. "Magic-" Tae whispered into Grusha's shoulder, unsure as to whether that meant that they should attack and try to take whatever it was the pale girl had, or if it was an indication that they should let her alone.
Focusing on one of the arrows that it looked like Erthe was about to shoot, Tae pinned her ears and held her breath. "-let's see how strong it is." A spectral/ghostly shimmer appeared before Tae, and fanned out into what appeared to be a bird. Silently on astral wings, the ghost-bird shot forward and attempted to grab the arrow as it was shot from the bow.
