Aether carefully watched from the shadows, getting to know the animal's behaviour, the way it ate, the way it drank water. How it led, they were important things, because it gave him an opening he could exploit, but for some reason, every time it ate, the animal didn't eat its food like last time; he did it differently from before.
And this was the case for all the other situations too; this was in no way a coincidence. It wasn't doing this because it wanted to; it may be one of the things keeping it alive. Switching every time made it so that if someone wanted to attack it, it couldn't study its patterns and take advantage of the vulnerability until the moment.
