Sawtooth Spire sharks in the swimming pool

Maybe Iqniq would come up with an idea for one. As a matter of fact, the Alpha took his proposition and gave it a bit more flavor. "Deal," Wicked replied the instant Iqniq finished describing the ground rules. "It's on," he added with a predatory grin. So far, he'd hesitated to join in any of the raillery so common in this pack but, out of those he'd met so far, Iqniq was actually the most easygoing, so the yearling continued a bit daringly, "I hope you know you're going down," and then paused before adding, "sir." Just in case. "I'm a damn good hunter, especially when it comes to small game." Confidence was a good thing, right?

It seemed the plan was to target a smaller predator and knock out as many rabbits, squirrels and other small prey as possible along the way. The Alpha had mentioned coyotes and wolverines. Wicked hadn't seen any of the latter but he mentioned, "I've spotted a few coyotes. I'm sure we can find one around here. They seem to like hiding out in the nooks and crannies." He thought of the one he'd chased earlier, as well as the one that had popped up during his run with the Gamma. "They're probably the bigger threat, so I vote we go after one of them," he finished.

While he waited for Iqniq to assume the lead, Wicked queried, "You mentioned your mate. Tonravik, right? You two have pups?" It would explain why the Alpha female was particularly concerned about other predators lurking around the mountain.
