Neverwinter Forest an end to smoke

Apologies for the wait! :) Rolled a 10, hence a misstep... but fud!

Fia watched as the Arctic bounded forward in a flash of white, snapping sharp teeth around the deer's front leg. A satisfying crack as his aim met true; and the fearful bleating that marked the beginning of the end of a hunt. Fia felt saliva flood her mouth at the thought of the food that awaited, but tried to not get ahead of herself - there was still work to be done. Even though the deer was hobbled, it was running unpredictably, zigzagging between the predators - as befuddling as it was befuddled.

Crouching low, Fia tensed her muscles as the deer swung wide towards her, sprang forward - and cursed as her mouth closed on empty air. With a snarl as the deer zagged just out of range, Fia dug her paws in, leaning into the shift in her centre of gravity as she changed direction to follow the deer. But even a half-torso behind, a three-legged deer is little match for a starving wolf. With the white wolf herding it in one direction, forcing it to veer off a course that might have truly left the she-wolf in the dust, Fia waited a heartbeat, then two - then lunged forward, fierce satisfaction flooding her as she tasted blood. It wasn't as graceful a takedown as it might have been - thin as she was, it took an embarrassing moment of heaving her weight downward before the deer conceded to crumple to the ground beneath her. 

Fia pressed down until she felt the deer's fluttering flank grow stiller, quieter. Lifting her head, tongue licking her wet maw, Fia looked towards the other wolf. She paused for a moment, suddenly awkward - if he hadn't ripped the kill from her already, he likely wouldn't now, she thought. "Time for a meal?" she asked, a little shyly, budging over to make room for him.
