Esarosa turned to the other woman as the fae said they could call her Dag. She nodded to Dag, liking that they could each be addressed quickly and easily with shortened names. She watched the woman's expression as she was explaining her plan, and then quieted to listen to Dag's response. Her ears flicked, and she had to roll her eyes slightly. Hadn't she just finished saying that it could still put up a deadly fight? That was why she'd designated the strange little male to take on the more dangerous task of attacking and distracting the animal at the front, so they could take a chance from behind. "Hunting's always risky," she retorted with a great shrug as she eyed the woman. This was a risk she was willing to take, as the meal would last for some time. She was exhausted from eating only small prey. The ebony-coated woman remained silent as Dag offered a few more suggestions for their safety, and gave Ritsy some tips before they set off. Sounded good to her, she was ready to give it a chance. It was an odd thing to hunt with complete strangers, but it would be worth their while in the end. Unless someone ended up gored or stomped. But they'd just have to see what happened. She watched as the male crept forward and made his move. Emerald eyes would shift to Dag - she wasn't going to chicken out, was she? "Ready?" she asked, tail waving in the air as she crouched down to prepare herself to leap, "We've gotta help Ritsy now, so give it your all. Let's go!" Her eyes turned to where Ritsy was now, darting in and out around the front of the elk, nipping at its legs and keeping it thoroughly distracted and agitated. This would be the perfect opportunity to begin their assault. Legs bending and muscles coiled, Esa sprung forward and sprinted toward the elk's left flank, her ears lying flat and tail straight out behind her. She could already feel herself salivating at the thought of a warm, filling meal. When she was right next to the elk, her forepaws left the ground as her wide open jaws aimed for a chunk of flesh right where its thigh connected to its flank. Her teeth closed on a mouthful of flesh, while her hind legs steadied her, and she quickly and with great force thrashed her head back and forth, causing a severe rip in the animal's hide. Then she'd let go and spring back, getting out of range of any of its hooves, and its antlers. Startled, the elk had swung its head toward her, so she would snarl and snap her teeth, threatening it from a safe distance. This would leave an opening for Ritsy to continue his attack, and give Dagmaer an opportunity to strike from the other side. It wouldn't be long now before they overwhelmed it and caused it to bleed out. |
