Waiting for us to drop our guards, I guess. [He says it quietly, ears straining for any snapping twigs or rustling foliage. Any sign of what might be thinking them an easy meal.]

Yeah, let's go see what we're dealing with.

[livingsymbol]

[The trips out that they have taken have introduced Steve to a variety of strange creatures. The wildlife seems to be pretty active, and he does enjoy the excitement of the trip even if it is hard travel. There is very faint movement buried in the brush, but it is too far away to really identify. And that might just be fun too.]

I knew I could count you in. Let's see if we can scare up our visitors.

[If they flush out some animals, most likely there won't be anything to worry about, but if it is something bigger, Steve worries that they're going to be ambushed in the night. He starts walking, heading out away from their camp toward the area he saw movement last.]

[anotheroldsoldier]

[There is one thing to say for going out in Riverview - you almost never run into the same wildlife twice. Bucky has been learning quite a bit, even if it's because he's been killing quite a few aggressive predators. It's never boring around here. That helps.]

You know you can always count me in, partner. [He says with a little smile, hefting the shield. They might not be Cap and Bucky these days, but Steve will always be his partner in the ways that count.] Lead the way.

[Steve nods and takes point, heading toward the direction he saw the movement. He doesn't deploy his shield at first, traveling light so he can react more efficiently if they do come across something. Once they leave the campsite and head into the brush, he kneels down to check the ground.]

These tracks look...

[Almost like bird prints, the three-toed depressions show points of claws digging into the ground. But the weight is too heavy for a bird and the spread is longer than Steve's hand when he holds it up to the track.]

I think we've got trouble.

[anotheroldsoldier]

[Bucky stays to his 6, occasionally looking behind them to make sure nothing is coming from that direction. When Steve finds tracks, though, he stops and stoops down to look at them over his partner's shoulder, frowning.]

You know, they say birds are descended from dinosaurs. [He remarks, voice low but slightly casual at the same time. These are either giant chickens, or they're way off base and they're dinosaurs. He just wonders to what degree of aggressive they are.]

[livingsymbol]

Thanks, Buck. Nice to know your imagination isn't failing.

[Steve crouches low to the ground as they move through the brush. The prints were dry and worn, from what Steve could tell, they were old. Maybe that meant that they weren't going to encounter giant chickens. Or dinosaurs, since the shape of the marks definitely reminds him of some movies he's seen in passing. And some actual prints he's seen in person--but they still seem off for that. Not quite the same. Slender.

But whatever left the tracks had large claws. That much he knows. And, judging from what they've already encountered, it could very well be another type of lizard-person. A smaller, lighter figure than the ones they've already fought.]

If we run into a pack of tyrannosaurs I'm letting you be the distraction.

[Steve smirks over his shoulder at his partner. After all, Bucky is Captain America now. Its his job to charge in and make noise, right? While he looks, Steve makes sure to check the camp behind them.]

They probably smelled our food. Wouldn't want to fall asleep with predators sniffing around this close.

[anotheroldsoldier]

[Bucky moves around a little bit to kneel down too, tracing the print lightly with his finger. It's old, definitely.] Long claws, skinny looking toes, though. Delicate bone structure? [If they're chicken feet, well, those have never seemed terribly sturdy. Worst case scenario.]

What, and take the distraction job away from you? That was always your favorite, pal. [There are some parts of the Cap job that still don't quite seem to fit him, like he's wearing someone else's shoes. Especially working alongside Steve again, he feels... less like Cap and more like Bucky.] We can go track the things down, but I hate to fuck with them any more than we already have. We're probably in their territory - these tracks are older.
