The pace was kept until they entered the forest, and then it slackened as the outsider girl surveyed the area with attention to detail. It made the boy wonder what her forests were like—and if he would ever see them. It had occurred to him more than once that he might like to visit Casa di Cavalieri, knowing that some former Courtiers made their home there, and of course that warriors lived there too. Perhaps they could give them the training that many in his pack could not, or at least a different insight as to how to train. It was probably a bit hypocritical that he wanted to learn to fight better to protect his pack, considering the beating he and Hati had given each other, but it was a worthy goal in the end.
Skoll slowed down as they reached an area where the whitetail liked to browse; he’d seen them as a child roaming through the trees. Sometimes the majestic creatures had simply stood still, stark and brown against a striped brown and white backdrop, as if they still thought they were camouflaged like in the autumn. With it being summer, it was a bit harder to spot them, but the wolfdog relied more on scent as he followed their trail.
He rolled his shoulders forward with anticipation, coming to the edge of the trees; not fifty yards away he thought he could see an old doe. He flicked his gold tail behind him to let Adelle know, his nose pointing in the prey’s direction, as he considered a strategy. All he could think was that he wanted to chase the doe, and bite deep, and drag it down and bite into it again. There was hardly any room for sneaking or tricks in his repertoire.
“Wanna go for it?” Skoll whispered, grinning childishly. He knew it could very well end in a failed hunt, as was often the case, but he was sure it’d be fun and that they could give up and go raid the Court’s stores if they needed to.
