The food court hums with bright chatter and clinking trays. Rosmira, Leon, Jews, and Cleara try to finish the conversation about the earlier baiting, but Leon suddenly stiffens, eyes unfocusing as if he hears a private call.
Rosmira
That scent is new.
A faint feminine trace drifts through the air, too distant to pinpoint and too sharp to ignore. Jews straightens at once, her suspicion turning inward as she searches the crowd.
Leon Wolfe
Do you smell that? I do not know her, but I keep... wanting to look.
Jews
That is not normal. Rosmira, tell me you feel that too.
Cleara’s gaze flicks over the food court’s edges, calm but alert, while the air carries that faint, watchful pressure from the wolf hierarchy. Somewhere beyond the casual faces, Fanrir’s side of the hunt is clearly taking shape, and Leon is the one being pulled toward it.

“Jwes and i Cant smell anything but clearly Leon does. maybe his wolf feels a pull.”
SUCCESS (Legendary Perception, rolled +0)
Rosmira shifts closer to Leon, letting the crowd noise wash past her while she studies his face instead of the air. The scent means nothing to her at first, but his reaction does. That pull is not random, it hooks straight into him.
Rosmira
His wolf is picking up the trail.
Leon swallows, staring toward the food court entrances as if one of them is calling his name. The pressure in him sharpens into recognition, and his shoulders tense with the effort of not following it.
Leon Wolfe
It feels like a wolf pack lead. I do not know the woman, but something about her is steering me.
Jews
A lead, not a random scent. That is useful. Rosmira, look at his face, he is reacting like he knows the direction even if he does not know why.
Madam Cleara
Then we are dealing with a deliberate lure. Keep him calm, and do not let him wander toward the wrong table.
Across the food court, a woman in plain clothes lifts her cup and looks away too smoothly. Behind her, two other wolves go still, watching Leon instead of eating. The scent now has a body, a place, and a small circle of handlers.
