Blacktail Deer Plateau PACK HUNT — Let nothing come between this and me

Everyone seemed clear on his instructions, so it was time to get underway. "All right, you two," Peregrine said to Ariston and Blue Willow, "hang back and give us fifteen minutes to get into position. Make sure to make lots of noise; we need to hear you just as much as the deer do."

Swinging around, he motioned for Hawkeye and Kuno to follow him as he led them on a wide arc around to the other side of the herd. En route, he inspected the various individuals to select a hopeful target. Truth be told, they would go after whichever deer fell most accurately into the trap they laid, yet Peregrine would do his best to put himself and his fellow attackers in position to herd his choice prey.

"Hey," he said after Kuno had moved off to his spot but before Hawkeye had a chance to go to hers. The three of them would form a sort of line the deer would be forced to cross. "Let's beast this thing. P.S. You're hot." He snickered and then loped off a ways, screening himself behind some brush and keeping his dusky eyes fixed on the herd even as he hunkered down to wait.
