The beast crept through the shadows, his hulking form ruffling only the slightest of leaves in an otherwise silent stalk. He was losing his edge, he used to never make a sound, but guessed it couldn’t be helped, with age came the loss of ones fine motor functions or he was just getting rusty. Saluce knew where his former apprentice was, she was stalking as well. Sometimes he felt they got a long much better when they just interacted without words. But he loved the girl as a father would even if he wasn’t one. It seemed all the bullshit of titles and politics got in the way of the two of them actually getting out and having a bit of fun. Today was the exception, he had met up with her as he had left to go hunting, finding her in the same mood and form as well as he. A silent nod was all that had been given and then they had taken off into the woods together, he had even acted a bit on the childish side waging his tail energetically until they hit on the scent of suitable prey.
Today it was deer, white tail to be exact and the small herd had timed their arrival at the wrong time of day, now they were being circled, the hunters careful not to reveal their presence until just the right time. That time quickly approached as he picked out the one he wanted. Saluce could easily bring down his own prey without assistance, but today he was working with someone else and the old ways needed to be honored. Normally he was the trap wolf, the one who sprung out to make the kill, but today he felt like giving chase. Nayru was big enough and talented enough to do the job and he was sure she had done it solo on her own already.
Like lightening his form sprung from the brush chasing after the big buck he had been eying for some time now, driving him toward his alpha, to give her the honor of the kill.
