Firestone Hot Springs A Deer in the Mist

Clearly, Rayder is a master of stealth xD

If he were still a lone wolf, this would have been a gift from above -- the deer in front of him was a ways from it's group, making it a significantly easier target, as long as he avoided getting kicked with it's powerful legs, which he was rather confident he could do. Rayder was to the far right of the warm spring, instead taking to a lush coverage of tall grass and bushes. The humid mist traveled to him despite this as he watched his prey.

His ears twitched as his gaze moved from the deer to a figure shrouded by the hot air of the springs. If he had been facing any other way, like the unfortunate buck was, he likely wouldn't have noticed it. His jaw went a tad slack in shock as he watched the figure continuing to stalk towards the very same prey he was after. No way. Irritation came over him at the thought of having his meal stolen from right under his nose, and he accidentally let out a small growl, and though it was quiet, with the deer's excellent hearing, it sensed the danger, and quickly begin to move.

Cursing under his breath, Rayder knew he would have to move as well -- it was now or never, even if he was in competition with another predator from the looks of it. Jumping out of his hiding place, he sprinted after the buck.
