Sorry for the delay--busy week. But, on the plus side, the roll was a success!

The silver-hued female followed after her and as they met eyes Mitanni grinned outright and flicked her tail in the vaguest suggestion of a tail wag that she could manage without completely ruining their stealth. This was better, much better, than her first attempt would have been. They were close enough to make the dash before the birds realized what was on them, and she felt the certainty of their success multiply because of Silver's suggestion.

Which left only one thing to do. Turning her attention back on the ducks, still moseying along in casual streamlines through the river, the black and brown wolf licked at her lips once and nodded her head with finality. Well...here goes nothing!

Without another sound of warning, she leaped forward, foregoing her hiding spot and any pretense at stealth as she singled one duck out and leaped off the bank into the water to pursue it. She saw the spooked creature rear up slightly, its wings outstretched and scrambling at the air to gain momentum and flight, but leading with her teeth she aimed to snap at its body before it could get away.

Water splashed all around her, wetting her completely, but even as she snorted on the spray of it she felt the soft body of the duck wriggling crazily between her teeth. A wing beat against the side of her face, and her cheek stung from where the feathered beast was currently trying to bite at her, but with her eye squinted protectively Mitanni turned and waded as swiftly as she could out of the water and back to the shoreline.

The duck, to its credit, fought her the entire way there, but with quick paws and an even quicker bite, she was able to still the bird once she'd pinned it on land. With water streaming off of her body in rivulets, the successful little hunter turned her head to look toward Silver expectantly, hoping she'd been just as successful.
