There is one animal in particular who isn't thrown off quite as well by the use Blackflight stealth, and it's probably because now that he's caught Vanadi's scent, he's pointedly trying to track him down. Apollo doesn't know what the hell her dog is currently tracking, but he's clearly very determined to find the target, so she just decides to go with it and follow. Thinking maybe he's caught the scent of a deer or some other large game, she pulls her crossbow from her back and tries to stay relatively quiet as they stalk through the woods.

Eventually, Metalhead finds what he's looking for, and the moment he catches sight of Vanadi he's bounding toward him and barking happily as though he were a puppy and not an enormous half monster dog, apparently unable to contain his excitement.

But where he may recognize Vanadi right away because of his nose, Apollo on the other hand is left standing there in the bushes, crossbow still in her arms and at the ready, but not aiming at the man (elf?) because what the hell Metalhead that isn't a damn deer. "Uh." Apollo just sort of. Stands there, watching as her dog harasses the man with a wagging tail as he tries to lick Vanadi's hand whether he wants him to or not, her stare both confused and suspicious. "Do I fuckin' know you?"
