An ear twitched and flicked towards a new sound- or, more correctly, a different sound in the corn, something with more weight to it making it's way through the corn. Shifting, losing some of that and then-
Claws dug in to the soil as boots ripped away for paws, some low snarl jut under his breath before 76 was moving forwards. Pushing his own way through the corn as it parted, catching a scent that had his eyes narrowing. Youth falling away, shedding as skin ripped and gave way to fur in some areas, scars tearing way through flesh and bleeding—
There were hands in that soil, motionless, limbs partially uncovering and showing beneath those roots. Lifeless eyes staring in to nothing if a face had soil pushed from it. All the same. Buried pieces left forgotten so something else could grow, bloodied and torn apart as the process had never been clean.
—Blood dripped heavily from 76's face as those slashes broke a no longer youthful face, trickling over skin and soon enough staining beard as claws cut through corn stalks. Cleaving his way through before he stopped, tail lashing behind him as he kept just out of reach.
