The sun would be setting soon, but there was something that needed to be done before they could move on. The heat of the sun had not only driven the wolves to find refuge among the heavy trees of the Glade, their was prey galore hidden amongst the bushes and undergrowth. They had to find it. Siarut knew everyone was tired, so he approached the two he knew would be taking the journey better. Takiyok was a natural scout, and the slow pace wouldn't have been as gruelling on his dear sister. And Aquakuktuq had only been with them for a few days, she didn't have as much distance under her paws and weariness had yet to sink in. Approaching his second he flicked his head, letting her know to follow. With stealthy paws Sia approached their newest member.
"Aqakuktuq, come." He expected her to follow, as he was giving her an opportunity to earn his trust, would she risk losing such a chance. Before leaving he let Shivali know that they would be back soon, and wouldn't go to far. A howl was all the was needed if something happened. It was risky to leave so few abled body with the main group, but they needed the food.
Siarut dropped his head to the ground, searching for the scent of much needed prey. There were recent deer droppings, and the strong scent of hares in the immediate vacinity. "We need a good meal before we continue on our path." He wasn't sure if they would need more explanation, and hoped not.

Aqakuktuq was still adjusting to the family's nocturnal schedule, fatigued mentally instead of physically. A yawn escaped her, and she resisted the urge to give in to sleep as the sun set. While drowsiness nipped at her heels, the wraith was not one to laze about, so she had been wandering near the group when Siarut's voice caught her attention, instructing her to follow him. Unquestioningly, she obeyed, falling into place behind the bearish man. Once they had departed from the group, he lowered his nose to the ground. The action gave Aqakuktuq a good idea of what he'd brought her out to do, and his words only confirmed it. Nodding, she mimicked him―nose hovering just above the grass at her feet while she sifted through the scents there.
She took note of the deer droppings and picked up on the scent of hares nearby. Hunting for hares appealed to her more; it was less risky, and they were close. If enough bodies joined in, though, they could take down a deer, which was more rewarding.

Shall we hunt hares or deer?Aqakuktuq asked openly, wanting to hear other opinions.
