Dow glares at it as it glares back
That's Ino. Emily's familiar. I imagine she sent it here to make sure you delivered the message and to make sure Salipsa died. Based on the fact I think I can see a bit of blood on it's mouth I imagine she had it eat her or at least maul her. Emily isn't exactly a very merciful person. At this point I guess it's just keeping an eye on us out of boredom. Or worse case scenario it plans to maul me next. Me and the mutt don't get along-it likes to stalk and maul me in it's free time if it spots me.
The flames in the cave finally die down. Dow stands up and begins walking to the cave-Ino matching her step for step, stopping when she stops and moving when she moves causing Dow to frown before cursing silently before rushing into the cave, Ino quickly sprinting after her. Dow shouting as she runs
Go to hell damn you, leave me be.
