[Newt smells it. The blood from the other and he slinks over to curl his massive body around Jonathan and the injured deer. He bares his teeth as he keeps both of them hidden away from harm and uses his body as a shield between the hunters and the two injured targets.
Jonathan may have heard the gunshots. May have expected pain to follow the sounds of said shots. It doesn't come and he can look to see the scaled body protecting him.
Eventually, the hunters flee if they hadn't been knocked out or killed (it isn't his aim to kill, but it would be folly to think his attacks on the hunters didn't end with casualties either). There's a quietness that returns to the forest, but the smell of gunpowder and blood and the scene around them was far from serene.
Newt uncoils himself before quizzically laying his head on the snow, bright eyes staring at the other carefully.]
