Killdeer’s words were useless to him and largely went unheard anyway. Atreus instead focused on his actions, copying his fellow soldier when he began singling out one of the elk. He felt a bit like a loose cannon as he shot across the field of play, barking and snarling at the target.

Stay away from the hooves! he reminded himself as he closed ranks. He saw Killdeer snap at the elk’s flank and his eyes rolled wildly in his head as Atreus made to do the same. He managed to snatch a lock of bristly hair in his teeth before springing away out of pure instinct.

And suddenly everything fell away. He didn’t concern himself with the Imperator’s orders or watching what Killdeer was doing. It was just Atreus and the elk. He wanted to sink his teeth into her for real this time. He charged again, darting underneath her to slash at her belly.

He forgot about the hooves, though in his defense, when Atreus became absolutely tangled in them, it threw the elk off balance and sent her crashing to the ground.
