Broken Antler Fen It's much better to face these kinds of things with a sense of poise and rationality

Oh, I was fine! But you do need to be careful. It's terrifying, hunting something so big. Maia began with a small laugh, but ended on a serious note. She wanted to be sure she impressed in them how dangerous it could have been. I was very lucky. If she'd ended up beneath the deer rather than beneath her fellow hunters, things could have been much worse.

The hooves are the part you should most look out for. Deer can kick surprisingly hard, and they are quick. If you ever get close enough, you have to be sure you do it in a way that doesn't give them a chance. It was hard to describe it, but if Hymnal knew that, she'd know what to look for the next time she saw the pack hunting. She could see how they moved and how they watched, and she could begin to watch herself. It was the best Maia could teach.
