Blacktail Deer Plateau Finding Bambi

The hunting party does not leave her waiting long, and they are quick to appraise the situation. She does not recognize the pale woman and offers her a curious glance, but greets her father and siblings brightly, Pema with a grin and a bob of her head. They are quick to fan out, and Dawn sets out on her own, moving through what just might be a trail to the pond. There are scents here; and as she moves further away from the pond, they strengthen. Excitement tugs at her growing when she comes across the fresh scent. She picks up speed, careful to stay quiet until she is suddenly at the edge of a glade. The scent here is strong, overpowering the other scents of earth and rot and greenery. Sunlight filters lazily downward, this place is bright and peaceful. Most exciting about her discovery, however, are the deer. There are about 7 here now, but the scents speak of more, elsewhere, perhaps. Her gaze glints and it is difficult to stop her tail from lashing in joy. Song bursts from her muzze, happy and summoning, and the deer a distance away stir, but do not flee. Their nostrils flare, and at this distance, she can see their gaze darting about, ears roving and dark tail flicking. They've been found, and the creatures almost seem to know it. Her packmates gather, and her gaze flicks to her fathers, pride in her gaze, and a kind of hunger, too.  Soon, they will hunt.
