Neverwinter Forest an end to smoke

There was a moment where he could have hesitated to gauge her reaction, but it would have cost them both precious time in their pursuit. He trailed after it, weaving this way and that as it did, trying to make up a bit of ground by cutting corners where he could. This was not his best role he was much more suited for being called into action last and using his strength to bring the beast down, but that wasn't to say he didn't have some speed and stamina. He knew his limits, and figured that he might as well give this one a shot. The female had looked as though she'd been starving. 

He heard her catch up to him and he cast her a brief glance, just long enough to see that she did not appear angry with him- but silently compliant, a sign she was willing to work with him. His lips relaxed, so he could show her a brief smile as he panted, before he barked softly, and put on another burst of speed. A toss of his head to her was given, to indicate she ought take the other flank, so that they might pin the deer between them if she had the strength to help him overtake the deer.
