Hoshor Plains A hunting we will go

She grinned lopsidedly at his laugh. It was good to have company yet again. His laugh sounded rusty, as if he hadn't used it a long time. Pity. Watching him, she tilted her head a little as he went quiet for a moment. He looked like he had gotten lost in memories. But the moment passed quickly, and she listened as he spoke again. 

She grimaced at the mention of berries. Definitely not her favorite, although she had once ate them to keep from starving. She almost shuddered. Any experience with berries was bad in her mind, but the thought of them getting worse? She gave him a quick look of compassion, then focused on his next words, her tail swishing as her eyes swept the scene. Her mind went into hunt mode, her head tilted yet again as she figured out the best way to run it towards him. She stood up, her anticipation for the hunt growing as he talked. The herd shunned the hurt deer, as if trying to force her to leave. They could help with that. 

Her eyes sparkled as she nodded at him. "I'll work my way around and frighten her this way. She shouldn't be too much of a hassle." Her spirits light for the first time in a while, she winked at him and quietly started walking away, calling over her shoulder. "My name's Onyx, by the way." Not waiting for him to respond, her stance changed as her muscles tensed. Her eyes shot back and forth as her paws whispered on the snow. The deer had no idea. She grinned widely, pricking her ears forward. She would like to keep it that way.

Swinging wide, she got behind the deer. The wind picked up, and the grin widened. That would get the doe's attention. The doe's head snapped up, startling the herd. They scattered as the doe tried to hobble after them. Crouching down, her eyes glinted as she bared her teeth, her tail flicking as an angry snake. "You're going the wrong way, dinner." She snapped at her heels, and the doe took off towards the wolf. Tensing her muscles, she growled after it, making sure it headed straight for him.
