There's a question to that sign in his face, and she presses her lips together, considering. It's strange, making possibly life-or-death decisions for someone who isn't just herself. They've dropped a good two handfuls of berries, and they'll be coming home without everything, but everything in her is saying that they're prey. She doesn't know if these creatures just tramp blindly around until they hear something, or if they sit back and wait at times.
And if they do...
After a moment she nods. "Let's get to them, then we all go straight back. Slow and careful." It might be a little more quiet to go separately, but she can't imagine not knowing where everyone is, right now.
