Bitterroot Valley the law of tooth and claw

Cue Chai from WBS! Permission to power play @Artyom's arrival.

Having returned home from her extended outing from Whitebark Stream, Chai had only made a quick pit stop through the heart of her wooded sanctuary for a quick check on the new mothers and the caches. The latter of which, seemed to be depleting as quickly as they were being filled. Her soft brows crinkled together thoughtfully and without any hesitation on her part, she exited the territory through its eastern most border. She found @Artyom on her way and asked him to join her, should he be able to spare some time away from his new family. The very same herd of Elk had passed through here recently, and she wasn't about to lose their trail.

Tracking down the herd into the sprawling valley, dotted with fuchsia blossoms, the scent of her prey grew stronger. But she was not alone. Two other wolves were already here, both sporting agouti coats. They were sizing up the Elk, piecing together the first stages of a plan. Chai stood still, in plain view. A lone figure in the distance at the head of the herd, a ways off, who had yet to spot her. She knew her alpha would be by her side, ever observant. Flagging her tail, ears pricked, she pointedly glanced between both males, broadcasting her availability to assist in the hunt.
