Redtail Rise Þief

Sorry for lagging behind, I don't have the time or mental energy right now to keep up with short rounds, so feel free to PP Aventus if I don't make it in on time!

He was disappointed to be paired with Ashlar, but there was no indication of it on Aventus' smooth, expressionless face. He met the healer's eyes for a moment — perhaps there was a flash of severity and disdain in his gaze, if one looked close enough — and then they were off.

The herd began to run the moment the pack pounded down the hill. Aventus let his whole body flow into a seamless gallop. It was easy to empty his mind with the wind rushing by. One elk nearly stomped on his paw in its haste to veer away, but Aventus was so focused on the target, he hardly noticed it.

He split from Ashlar's side when they drew close, seeking to cut the cow off from the left side so she could not turn with the rest of the herd. His snapping teeth made no effort to strike flesh; they were only a show of force to make the cow nervous and frighten her the other way.

When Avicus joined them, Aventus knew they had succeeded in separating her from the rest. This time, when he snapped at her, his teeth sought to puncture the cow's flank.
