@Ukulele, hop in anytime! wanted to get the next round up, also no posting order! <3
fennec and her man both deciding to come threw off teya's count. but one look at eager little sphyra told her she could not readjust things now.
"reyes and eljay. do not try to stand in front of deer when it run toward you. wound and follow." she did not intend for anyone to be hurt today, and shook under the new and realized weight of the role she had assumed.
she wished one of those two hunters were here with her today, because reyes could not be at her side. but she would do what must be done to keep the caldera wolves and brecheliant close.
"sphyra. stay with me. do not try to chase alone or ahead." yes. the girl was youngest. she must understand that her inexpertise could bring injury or worse to herself. but the raven did not mean to shame her, and grinned next. "i need good co-runner."
she glanced to lele, bronco, and fennec. "when we come up on deer, bronco and fennec this way," muzzle moving to the right, "and you to the left, lele," a gesture in this direction, an encouraging look at them all. "cut it off if it try to break from me and sphyra."
"the plan is that deer run, we curve back to this place. but i also give you a second plan. if he break, i call for you back here. we all chase."
teya did not intend for their hunt to be in vain.
a nod to @Maia and @Ruenna. she turned, waited for the redhawk girl, and then began a wolf's-trot up the slope.
the scent of the large stag grew stronger the further that they moved from water. she paused a couple of times to allow sphyra the full experience of growing excitement. teya led her running-party into the hushed forest. her coolwater eyes searched for any sign of the animal. a broad hoofprint here. a tuft of white fur there. at each sign of spoor she stopped again.
they did not need to rush. the beast was close.
the sun filtered through the branches. before them, a magnificent animal stood. teya near quailed inside herself at the sight, especially as the light highlighted the sharpness of the tines.
she did not hesitate longer. teya began her run at once, grunting "around!" move to the back of the animal, drive it back along the path they had taken into the forest.
the creature swung its head too late; it bellowed in panic. teya only hoped that it would not seek to fight here in the tightweave of the forest.
