Silverlight Terrace Rain or Shine (I)

Floki pointed out that their priority should be separating the smallest doe from the stag. But the other does could easily gum up their plan too. And the strategy he suggested was entirely different from Wildfire's original plan to strike from either side. For several moments, the youth said nothing, turning everything over in her head as she tried to figure out the best approach to their tandem hunting endeavor.

"Maybe this is why wolves hunt in packs, not pairs," she quipped quietly at length, exchanging a fleeting smile with Floki. "I don't think we can try my original idea because it requires total surprise. It would only work on a more singular target. But we can try yours, just try to chase her outright and see if we can't single her out." Since they didn't intend to actually capture her, the next steps didn't matter much. Wildfire's goal here was to practice their strategy.

"If you're down, I'm ready when you are," she whispered, the tip of her smudged snout indicating that Floki should give the signal for their attack. She would be right behind him.
