Phoenix Maplewood Laika Meets The Pack

Laika nodded, tail tip twitching in hope. She raised her nose to the air, scenting the incoming breeze tentatively. The faint smell of a lonely doe rummaging through the snow made its way to her nostrils and her ears pricked. 

"Doe. Down here."  She informed the Alpha, trotting down the hill, still in a respectful stance. 

She dropped low, sensing the unexpecting deer close. Tentative blue eyes gazed around the unfamiliar territory, hoping that soon she would know it like the back of her paw. She was on a roll, stalking ever so closely to the deer. Now, if she focused closely through the thick foliage and young growth, she was able to make out the brown legs.  She waited for the Alpha to be at her side before thinking out her plan. 

"Can you herd the deer towards that small dip over there?" She asked tentatively, pointing with her tail to where the ground dipped just a bit, and a short, rocky outcropping stood at its base. She hoped he wouldn't anger from her asking him to do a task, knowing he was the Alpha, and he was the one to give orders. "I will be waiting at the top for the deer to flee there."
