Lost Creek Hollow To protect you

So he did have a plan -- a specific one at that.  Interesting.  Well, she didn't have a problem with it.  If the pack cooperated with his plans then they probably were starting to see him as an adult anyway.  And it wasn't like by now he was totally some shrimpy tiny kid -- he had to have been close-ish to his adult size if the guidebook is being remembered correctly.  The only thing really still at question was if his mind was as refined as he seemed to believe.  Certainly a hunt would test it -- especially one of an animal that could do damage, old or not.

Treason nodded.  She appreciated the fact that he was at least proactive on the matter and not forcing her to come up with some task for him on the spot.  She hadn't been paying much attention to the deer lately, herself, but she could believe that was probably the case.  Then start your planning.  If you lead the hunt well, I don't think any of the pack would argue against you being seen as an adult.  It would be to the benefit of everyone.  But did he want to be seen as sort of benevolent or whatever?  Or was the stag just an object to an end?  She probably should pay more attention to the youths of the pack.  Maybe.

There was one thing, though, Are you going to be choosing your hunting party or have it be whoever appears?  She suspected most of the pack would be willing to respond, except she knew that the various litters of pups would probably take out at least a few of them from the running, depending on when it was.
