she led @Stone and @Brook back the same way she'd gone yesterday, near the edge of the borders. she spoke softly to the pair as they went, though her attention remained fixed on the path before them. "remember - we have to be quiet, sneaky. if the herd gets spooked, they might leave the territory." she'd been watching them a few days, now, and though they were small, they appeared strong. it what had kept her thus far from instigating a hunt, for she knew that in matters of the hunt, patience was oft crucial.
the herd had moved - deeper into the trees, where before they'd occupied a small plain. she motioned for the pair to still, and curiously scanned the group, wondering why they'd moved deeper into the territory. she found her answer in a moment; one of the young does stood stiffly, head hung and bearing a winding cut along her haunch. retreating slightly, thrum of anticipation arching along her spine, Dawn whispered to the pair. "we'll hunt, today. you can watch, but stay quiet and out of the way. soon, you'll be able to join the big hunts, but I need you to know how they work, first." she refused to place them in any danger they were unprepared for, and though the thought of hunting alongside her children brought forth an odd burst of joy, she'd waylay it for as long as it took for them to learn.
nudging Brook's crown briefly, she called then for the pack - @Aditya, @Kavik, @Sherigrim, @Rosalie, @Panther, and @Alessia. despite the anticipation, she was still, calm, as she waited to see who among her packmates would appear. when they did, she greeted them and outlined her plan in hushed tones. "our target is the injured doe. one group can cut around them easily, position themselves where the trees open up. the rest will stay here and flush the herd in the direction, and together we'll cut her from the rest."
