Cody tilted his head like he was confused. Then an expression that was trying to hide a laugh came across his face. "Ah, no," he said, sniffing the ground to erase his secret emotion. "If you stop to fight, that will give the two leggeds a chance to kill you." He glanced over his shoulder and sniffed the air again. "Stay alert so you can stay ahead of them. Hang close to a brook or river so you can mask your scent. Stay that way until you can reach a good hiding spot. Preferably, a dark cave where there's lots of hiding spots and possible wet spots to mask your scent in."
