His appearance to the deer had had the desired effect- the few that had bleated of danger were trying to push through the herd to get away from the timber wolf that was amoung them. Those few bleats had begun to spread arounbd the herd and mothers were calling their babies to their sides with abandon. If anything was going to drive these beasts towards Saluce and Gideon it was revealing oneself to them. Green eyes watched as the stag of the ground swung his head backward, impressive antlers heavy on its head. It sniffed the air, showing the whites of its eyes as it just about managed to capture Saul's scent. The bellow that came from the brute was something that Saul gave a soft smile to- his actions would be in motion now.


A black and white form cut in front of him as he was about to give chase. Anger rose up in the young boy paramount to nothing he had ever felt before. She obviously hadn't been listening to what her mate had been saying when he set the two of them to herd the deer in their direction. Was she stupid or something? Had her ears been so full of Saluce's grey hair as she had continuously rubbed herself against him that she had not heard these instructions? Though anger was a very rare emotion for the young boy he could feel it welling deep within him now. He was not a child and in fact hated it when an adult thought of his as stupid. It was she that had not listened, she who was getting it wrong now. Taking a deep breath Saul allowed green eyes to find blue.


"Miss Layla- how do you suppose we herd the deer towards Saluce and Gideon if they cannot see us? How to you suppose we scare them into running in the right direction if all we are doing is stalking? Perhaps you should have listened when Saluce asked us to scare them his way."


Though trying to keep a calm head about him Saul stared deep into Layla's eyes before turning and scooting around her. Part of him was pleased that he had stood up for himself but the other half was shaking with what he had done. Layla was of higher rank than he and she was Saluce's mate. But she hadn't listened to the instruction he had given and was hindering the hunt because of it. However, the deer were on the move now and Saul's instincts told him that he should get up front and direct the stag in the direction of the trap. The young boy threw himself into the stampeding deer, teeth snapping at flanks to get them panicked. He glanced back to see what Layla was doing but instead could only see the light brown of deer hide. It took him less time than he'd thought to get to the front and when he saw the stag his stomach quaked. With a snap at the males hooves Saul attempted to push it wards the narrowing funnel at which Saluce and Gideon waited.
