[html]ooc;; sorry fy'ra, just wanted to get this post out of the way!
The snow had muffled all of their pawsteps but it was a red light to their prints. They could move like ghosts over the compact white powder, but there was always going to be the small imprint of where they had been. So there was a beeline in the snow where Saul had trotted into the area and now it stopped where the timber male had sat. Green eyes sought the blue ones of his teacher and Saul felt a certain pride in the grey behemoth. He was proud that he was Saluce's pupil and he had come to depend on the grey males solidarity. He smiled at his teacher, tail flickering softly back and forward and obliterating the marks that he had left behind. Neither of the two replied to his greeting but he didnt really care about that. They were busy adults, preoccupied by the coming hunt. They just need Gideon to turn up and they would be set.
As if on cue, the dark form of his younger brother moved over the snow, stark against the white powder. Surprisingly, Gideon did not look ready for action. His shoulders drooped as though he had been asleep and almost as soon as he arrived he sat down. A soft snort escaped Saul as he looked at his brother. He was such an old man. Of course, being an old man was not going to help them succeed in this hunt. Saluce picked up on this fact almost straight away. Saul was immediatly torn between his protectiveness to his brother and his loyalty to his teacher. He wanted to defend his brother- remind Saluce that his brother had children to look after. But he couldnt help but agree with the grey male on this. Gideon should be more prepared. So instead, he said nothing.
His paw was healing, which would certainly benefit him on this divergance. But none the less he was glad when he was given his orders to chase the deer instead of bring them down. He could run perfectly fine but should be put any real power behind his paws then it would twinge and he would fall. Running and spooking the deer was a much easier job than bringing the deer down, as was his brothers job. Concentration had taken over and instead of actually answering his teachers instructions he gave the grey blacksmith a hard nod of acknowledgement. With a glance towards the black and white woman, Saul checked that she was coming and took off. He faintly heard Saluce say something else but he was too far away to hear it. And anyway, his mind was beginning to clear itself and his mind was set on his mission. He snaked around the left side of the dear, letting one or two see him. It created fear and almost immediatly bleats were heard in the herd. They would be moving soon- Layla needed to herd them from the other side and their attempt would be successful, that was for sure.
