Shy Deer Steppes C'est la vie

Atka hadn't picked up on the wolf's glare their direction but when Heph directed her towards the elderly antelope she decided they might speak to the other later, nodding in response. Her lungs burned as she bounded over the sandy landscape, legs at full tilt. The loud pounding of hooves were becoming more intense as Atka was nearing the antelope. She contemplated throwing herself at the hind legs of the creature, knowing all to well the damage a hoof could do. Instead, Atka continued her elongated lope but instead alongside the animal, trying to encourage it towards Heph's direction. Whether or not Heph decided to shut her jaws around the antelopes limbs, or continue to exhaust the animal, Atka would follow her decision.
