Northstar Vale I returned to a stand of pines

Patience would be a strange word to use as Reiko watched Celara prepare her side of the hunt. No thought truly went through her mind, nor did she feel the inevitable ticking of time trickle by as she stood there waiting for the dance to begin between hunter and the hunted. Right now, she just existed in the moment and paid enough attention to see that her companion was finally trying to signal something to her.

Was it to frighten the prairie-dog toward Celara? That's what it seemed to be... Well, at least she didn't have to do the killing blow, that alone she was thankful for. Once she was certain that was what Celara wanted, Reiko began her part of the hunt and began barking at the hole, digging, and hoping that her loud pitch barking would scare the groundhog toward her companion and not to some other hole.
