Silver Creek Brother In Arms

They worked as if they'd been hunting together since birth. Casmir picked up easily on his signals and moved around the beast, then lunged and landed a bite. Heston laughed out loud as it landed, surprised and pleased. He had to leap quickly to the side as the animal charged away though, still laughing.

He took up the chase with Casmir, pausing only to bump the male's shoulder. Heston continued his barks, attempting to leap up and grab the animal's tail while also not getting his skull kicked in. The elk gave great bellows, attempting to pick up speed. It was fast, but heavy, and Heston knew he could run for a while at this pace. Seemingly sensing that it was going to be run-down if given the chance, the elk suddenly slowed and swerved. This happened to coincide with Heston's leap and he was surprised to find his jaws closing around on the animal's flesh.

Surprise rippled through him as he pulled on the beast, literally hanging from its tail end. He felt the animal start to buck and quickly, fearfully, gave one last wild jerk intending to drop directly after. His hold gave as he jerked, sending him sprawling into the dirt with a loud oomph. In his mouth he held part of what little tail the elk had. He glanced around with a dazed expression, rising to his feet quickly and attempting to continue the chase.

"Geefuf, wuk aht dis!" He said, around the fluff, his body full of adrenaline. Laughter still shook at his sides. He very well could have been greatly hurt by what had happened, but he was having too much fun to focus on his mortality and what ifs. He lifted the tail high and leap, frog-like, after Casmir.
