The infighting continued. Less time was spent grazing, the entirety of the herd refereeing between the two belligerents now. The male was an experienced sentry, chewing and scoping in equal measure. One of the females struck home, causing the assaulted to wail in pain. This drew the male's attention, shoving through his riled harem to quiet the riot. Now would be the perfect time to strike...but the rest of the herd compensated for the lack of eyes, cautiously scouring the lands for predators. Are you freaking kidding me right now? This group was in sync more than anticipated. Tatsuya stood little to no chance of catching one now that the two females were shushed.
INDENTPromise came slinking near in the distance, cutting off one of the herd's escape routes. It was a wolf he has never met before; coat disheveled and black, anatomy slender, tranquil in her approach. Like the calm before a storm. Fur prickled at the sight. Who was this? A loner looking for an easy meal? The other hunter proffered assistance. Pride kept him from replying immediately. He needed help. There was no way in hell he was going to be able to bring one down. Not alone. Grumbling, Tatsuya conceded, using similar indicatives to get his point across. Fine. Help me out, but wait for now. He found this herd first and he would commandeer it. However, they would have to wait until an opening presented itself. Not sooner. Depending on what may or may not happen from this point on, he would have to plan accordingly.
INDENTThe opening did not come in an hours time, sun drawing closer to the horizon. This was when those two females drew closer together once more, passively approaching each other. Tatsuya had moved closer to the herd since Amekaze's arrival, wilting in the wait. Now he perked up, attention never leaving the cluster. Whether or not they were successful, the Gamma decided it best to turn in early on his way back to Tonravik. He has spent a considerable amount of time just stalking this damned herd; he deserved a good night's sleep. Tatsuya would not be able to fend off sleep with a full belly anyway.
INDENTThe two females started up again, going at each other with kicks and tackles. The herd became annoyed again, swarming around their battling sisters. Blood spilled, one hoof slicing at the area where neck and arm meet. The offender suffered a lesser ailment, limping away as the male rushed to break it up. Admonishing both of them, the male went to his wounded and guarded her; protecting her from the ravenous eyes of predators. Useless. The blood shed was small but it would bring carnivores to them. Perhaps the buck was not as smart as Tatsuya originally thought.
INDENTNow's our chance. Looking over to Amekaze, he signaled to her: we're to go after the bloodied. That was a given but he had to make sure they were on the same page. You need to spook them – make them run towards me. They might break away from the herd in their fear. Maybe then they can get that particular female. And if the buck intervened – foolishly protecting his injured – they would have to work together to show him the error of his ways. We'll go when you're ready. Let's make this count.
