"Hey, Danny? I can see smoke out there," Lucy mentioned in monotone. Daniel grabbed his rifle from its rested position on the wall of the corrugated iron shack and started heading outside to get a closer look. The snow wasn't thick, but at this distance and with a lot of trees in the way, he couldn't see the source of the smoke stack with his eyes from here. Scoping it out wouldn't work either... It would take some footwork.

"Hey, Elijah. You wanted some action, what say we go take a look?" Daniel asked as he turned his head back to his fellow Hunter, catching a short-haired woman approaching the watch post. "Miriam, right? Can ya' do us a favour and stick around here for a while? We gotta go check something out in the forest." He turned his gaze to his sister, who was wrapped up warm in the corner of the hut with binoculars hanging around her neck, "And you don't move a muscle - just keep a good look out. Doubt this is anything dangerous, but keep your eyes peeled. We'll be back ASAP."

Lucy nodded along and hugged her rifle as the woman approached the watch post, trying to look as relaxed as possible.

As far as Hunters were concerned, any life outside Sanctuary's perimeter watch stations was hostile. Hostile, but these boys and girls were under orders to return fire only. They were to be very cautious, regardless of whatever they encountered. "Eli', ready to track 'em down?" Daniel asked.
