OOC: Since it's been a while since anyone posted, I'm going to lay out the plan then OOC assume it went through to get this closed up. @Raheerah, @Kuno Feel free to make a post with your impressions so all will be gravy :3
A rule with hunting was that only one would lead. In a pack, it was the strongest and more experienced to take point while the subordinates moved to the direction of their lead. The role of lead had never come to her before the moment of this hunt, and while her hunger swiftly acclimated her to the role, it was not without some apprehension for the task. She was a body, not a head. But if the struggle of the wild proved anything to her, it was that the roles could change as easily and startling as the winds.
She near in close proximity to the scarred behemoth but kept her sights in search of their quarry. She trusted his nose, for only a fed wolf regularly had the scent of fodder to fall upon, and too true to his lead did the scent of their prey grow stronger- but beyond the rise of a soft hill. Feeling his eye upon her, she turned without truly seeing, her eyes were glazed by the shroud of thought as she replayed the scenes of her old dwelling during their hunts. Always the fastest took point to herd out the weakest, if not more vulnerable of the herd, but since the swift foot of their party was young in her eyes, she thought better than to send him into the fray utterly blind. She was slower, but her body could endure the brunt of assault if it came to that. Though even a young fawn would not be able to escape her jaws in time. She would simply trust her sights to guide her to a worthwhile prey in the moment of haste.
Honing in from her thought to look to Raheerah, she gestured with her muzzle for him to assume a further berth. The same for Kuno but from the opposite side. They would need to watch the movements of the herd and shepherd them from her chosen quarry. The only audible warning she offered was the simple fact that followed all hunter; “Mind the buck.”
Then she slipped over the rise to fall into the herd…
