Blacktail Deer Plateau eats, shoots and leaves

Hope you don't mind the power play; if you do, let me know and I can edit this post! :)

Perhaps this was a decisive moment for Osprey Jr.'s future, directing her down the path of a warrior rather than a warden. She did not wait for Blue Willow to attack first. Instead, she struck when the Alpha female darted out her paw again. With a fearsome growl, the pup sprang upon it, seizing it simultaneously with jaws and paws and wrestling it to the ground. She then seized it in her mouth, remembering at the last second not to break her aunt's skin; this was a game. Still holding onto it, she gave it a few shakes before settling down on the ground.

She paused a moment, considering her options, then began to tug on the she-wolf's paw. Growling through her teeth, she tried to drag Blue Willow away from her father. Although this was just playing, in a real world situation, this would give him a chance to slip away and escape, even with his busted paw. Osprey Jr. didn't know this, of course, but her eyes kept flicking over to where he lay as if making sure he was still untouched while she took care of the mock nemesis.
