It seemed Atlas would be the first to find a steady scent trail, and in seeing the expression on his face, Bronco approached to sniff at the ground where he'd been scouting, and nodded in agreement. He gave the dark male a nudge, to show appreciation and how impressed he was with the male's tracking abilities. Together, the trio made their way down the scent trail, but Bronco hung back- when he caught another familiar scent, and looked up to see his sister coming to join them. His tail waved, and he welcomed her into their midst. While an elk hunt was one of the more difficult ones to pull off, he wouldn't send his sister away, knowing that a par of his job as her guardian on the mountain was making sure that she learned survival skills. That included hunting both alone and as a part of a pack.
She asked if she could watch, and he looked to the others to see if they showed any signs of being opposed to her presence. -Sure. But not from a distance this time- He said, signing to her silently. Antares and Atlas seemed focused on the herd, so he could take a moment to debrief his sister on her role. They wouldn't understand the ptero he used, but it was an excellent means of communicating silently with his sister. -I want you to hang back a bit, but follow us. Stay low. Once we get them in motion and split one from the herd, catch up with us, if you can, and join in the chase. Don't get in anyone's way, and don't get too close to the elk- but you can run with us,- He said. Rather than sitting on the sidelines and watching from a distance, she'd get both an up-close view of their tactics, and would get the feel of what it was like to join in the chase- the exhaustion and the exhiliration. -Got it?- He asked, before he gave her a wink. He had faith she'd be able to do it. And if she did get too close then he could still leave Atlas and Antares to the hunt while he kept his sister safe.
He rejoined the other two, figuring they might have chosen a target. "She's gonna ghost us." He said softly, hoping that was enough of an explanation for the two males to understand the role he'd assigned Meerkat. "Now. Which?" He asked, casting his gaze over the herd, relying on his packmates for their sound judgement.
