Now that this was moving forward, she didn't want to get greedy but experience had taught her that hesitation had no place in the heat of the hunt. Her glances jumped from one deer to the other, then back again, lingering longest on the older one. Another fleetingly look back told her a few had joined her cause of speed, and that others were hanging back--good spots, for her. They even came with the numbers to provide a solid middle-ground too, so she was feeling honestly a bit uplifted about this and their odds of something good.
So, with that in mind, she wanted to make for a good role-model for any of the younger few that chose to speed along with her, and let them see the applications of different sorts of going fast given the circumstance. To see how she could shift between roles of guiding the flight, keeping the pressure on the prey, and being a bit of a distraction depending on what it needed. Plus, in an instant, she could become a valuable surprise strike too, able to disappear with some well-maneuvered landscape and timing. But, every hunt was different and none of it meant anything without thinking on the go.
When she saw Kaertok swing for the older one, but inevitably miss that time, she took that as a sign and on another burst of speed, she ran ahead only to abruptly close in circling back on the deer's current trajectory away from the wolves. She approached from head on, tail up and teeth first in a snarling snap for its front shoulders that were meant to surprise, startle, whatever--and most importantly, no matter the means of execution, encourage it to turn back into the waiting jaws of her fellow hunters today--all while hopefully keep her from its hooves, but she could (mostly) move lightly over the snow at least where it sunk. Above all, she was eager to see them get something good done here today, together.
