As the blonde female gave her name, Axelle dipped her head in greeting because the the femme continued to talk. Axelle didn’t want to interrupt when body language could be used. It seemed her new acquaintance, Aeron, had the same idea in mind. Nice, boring day. Let’s kill something. Axelle took a deep breath as the wind blew. The elk’s scent was rather delicious and she wouldn’t be able to contain herself much longer.

A big toothy grin stretched along her maw as she thought of the event. ”Yes.” Hunting some real prey was an entertaining idea. If she could rub her hands together she would’ve right now in anticipation. ”No worries, you have me now. We could tag team and bring down a nice deer.” She rose to all fours because she was getting antsy thinking about it. ”Maybe even bring some to the reserves in Anathema if there’s enough.” This was a time when she wished she brought her tools. The crossbow would come in real handy right now, as would her little hunting knives. She could’ve sliced meat off the animal’s bones in a nice clean way rather than ripping it off or bringing a whole limb with her. Oh, well. What’s done is done.

”Well, let’s not waste time. Do you have anything in mind? Elk, deer, doe?” The more she thought about it, the more antsy she felt. The taste of fresh blood in her mouth would be a great refreshment. She’d been eating cooked food for the past few weeks. She needed to get back in touch with her wolfyness and this was the best way to do it, hunting. Hunting something natural, and hunting something that their regular ancestors hunted. She wondered if Aeron would get into her wolfy swing of things too, and shift down.

Axelle’s excitement slowly faded when she heard that they won’t be chasing and killing anything. Her drive simmered down a bit, but she was still excited about the hunt none-the-less. Trickery. Axelle wasn’t so used to ‘tricking’ her foe into dying. She was more of the brute strength kind, even though she wasn’t that strong. This would be an interesting experience and maybe it would teach her something new after all. ”Oh…” It was all that came out of her mouth as she thought about this situation. She would look like the dummy now, and it wasn’t something she liked looking similar to.

As Aeron spoke, Axelle listened. When the female had finished her explanation, Axelle nodded slowly, taking it all in. So, she would follow the female’s instruction to her fullest ability and hope that she doesn’t screw up her plan. Axelle scented the wind, making sure the prey was not moving farther away. They weren’t. They must’ve been grazing nearby and didn’t seem to want to be leaving any time soon. ”That’s fine.” She spoke calmly, not a hint of worry in her voice, but it was in her mind. I got this… She tried to make herself confident, but there was doubt in the back of her mind. Dreadful doubt, and she didn’t want to make herself look like an idiot.

Her rank was a warrior, so she had to be able to adapt to new ways of things. This would be a test to see if she was able to adapt to this new way of hunting. If she was capable of adapting and maybe using it to her own advantage one day. ”Let’s do this.” She stepped toward the scent, and waiting to hear the femme behind her make her move, too, or maybe even to hear the sound of her picking up her supplies to bring them with her. The wind was on their side today. The prey was in the perfect spot, and their scent was down wind. The wolfesses were set.

Axelle eyed the woman’s trap. Never in her life had she ever thought about trapping prey, but it was a good idea if one wasn’t capable of taking down their own prey. Axelle just preferred to do it the traditional way, but she was open for ideas. She listened quietly as Aeron explained, not adding anything to the conversation until she was done speaking. ”Well, my favorite part of the hunt is the kill, so can I do the killing? I guess you could chase if you want, and I’ll set myself up near the trap, and when the elk is good and tangled, I’ll come in and finish it.” She could visualize the whole thing in her head as she spoke it. It was fool proof, but of course things could go wrong. ”Sound good?”

Aeron’s way was kind of cheating. She didn’t want to shoot down the yote’s cool idea, but Axelle did think it was stupid. She kept her mouth shut and continued to keep her opinion to herself. Excitement filled her as she watched the female set up her trap. She hadn’t hunted in a while, and this would be good exercise for her. It would be a good way to stretch her legs, since she hadn’t had a reason to run and jump in a while.
