After giving some hints to Aisha on how to steer the drone properly, Cassius turned his head, spotting Skadi still circling and swiping at the floating drone like a bored cat with a very expensive toy.
"Skadi..." He called out.
She froze mid-step, ears perking up, then bounded over instantly.
"What is it, Master? What do you want me to do?"
Her tone was already laced with excitement, as if she expected a hunt.
"Do you want me to go around and chase someone down? Track them through the woods? Or..." She spread her fingers to show her long, sharp claws, her grin turning downright scary "...do you want me to get to someone and make all of their innards fall out? I can do both with ease. I'm a specialist in both."
Cassius raised an eyebrow, the corner of his mouth twitching. "Nothing so...violent this time."
Her face dropped into mild disappointment. "Oh."
Then, without warning, he reached out and gently poked her nose. "Instead, I want to use this cute little nose of yours."
