Shy Deer Steppes C'est la vie

Heph had not intended to travel so far south, still keeping near enough to Atka to travel by her. But her paws ate up the wide open plains that she traveled across and she hardly noticed the distance as she followed the scent and the markers of prey in the area. She did nothing to hide her trail or her passing as she noted the evidence of larger four legged animals, hoping she would be back to where she had started in time to pick up Atka's trail and continue on with her but curious to see the creatures at least since she had come so far.

Before she realized it she heard the sound of hoofbeats that she was closer than she had realized. The animals already startled she thought she saw a wolf giving chase already gaining ground. Grinning to herself she did not take the time to think before jumping into the fray and tearing after the herd, already trying to pick out the weakest one. Now that the chase was on she let out a bark, hoping to spook them more, perhaps causing one to veer off in a direction in a panic allowing her a few more precious feet of ground.

Her lungs burned but the feeling felt pleasurable instead of painful with all the adrenaline coursing through her veins. She let herself focus on the hunt, eyes scanning wide not yet locked onto any one target. Perhaps she and this other wolf would work together or maybe they would clash over the carcass, but with the world rushing past her and the antelopes as well she had no time or space in her head to worry about any of that.

Hope you don't mind me throwing Heph in, tagging @Atka for reference
