Redhawk Caldera Whisper

He watched carefully as the deer began to move away, zigging and zagging across the uneven terrain. He kept his gaze trained on their chosen target, although his left ear flicked back towards Allure every so often, keeping tabs on her location. The gamekeeper preferred to play the waiting game at first and allow the situation to progress before making any snap decisions.

Another deer drifted close to the targeted doe and he peeled his lips back from his teeth, snarling as he snaked towards it. The leggy creature leaped away, though their prey followed on swift hooves. With a short bark, he gestured for Allure to move forward and increased his speed, trailing just far enough back to snap at its hocks.

He veered to the side, attempting to drive it away from its herd. Unexpectedly, luck was on their side -- as the deer tried to circle back, it unwittingly stepped into a hollow in the ground and tripped. Elwood seized the opportunity and fell on its neck with teeth and claws, using his weight to hold it down even as it struggled.
