Quickly, while you still can

aw crap! Sorry @Mikael I swear I checked if it was my turn, I'm just a dumbface :(

Ashton was the last member to arrive, and suddenly it seemed that their little party was complete. Somnia instantly took charge of the situation and gave them a run down of exactly what needed to be done and how they would do it. The dominant beta in her rose in protest at the girl's bold move at jumping to the lead, but Fin's better sense told it to ease up. This was a dire situation and no time to fuss over rank. Besides, before she'd ever been named beta, she likely wouldn't even have noticed the "insubordination". She was just being bitchy that day, I suppose.

Finley being an unfortunately simple-minded and independent creature could not make any sense of the plan Somnia pulled together. The need for them to assemble some sort of relay race seemed overly complicated and unnecessary to a wolf who'd gotten herself into far too many scrapes with dangerous characters to count. She'd rarely ever needed someone else's help to get herself out of trouble, so the thought of all six of them working on taking out this one little sickly coyote struck her as absurd. Overconfidence and an innate need to show off before such a large crowd of her peers told her that she could easily take on their enemy, especially since it was suddenly looking even tinier and more helplessly frail than ever. It was probably a good thing so many were around to keep the wild beta in check at that moment, otherwise the Caldera would soon have two scrawny rabid things to contend with.

But no one complained, everyone instead just moved into their positions, and so the bold beta did the same. Fin cantered past Elwood to pause a good distance away and then turn and wait, pondering over all the ways she saw this going wrong and wondering even then if she shouldn't just spring forward and take on the rabid coyote herself. She was too far away at that point to be able to reach it before Somnia put her plan in motion, however, so she tempered her impatience and settled in to proceed with whatever came next.
