t-t-totally dude

It wasn't long after she'd been pondering how to get the most possible prey when she noticed Phantom inching closer and turned a bit so they could get close and speak without scaring away the small creatures that stood so close by. She nodded in response to his instructions, glad he had come up with some sort that would hopefully get them plenty to eat. Turning carefully so she was facing the deer once more she waited eagerly as he began the silent countdown, sinking into a crouch, leg muscles tensing in preparation of her jump.

On three she pushed off of the log and leapt forward, sailing over the undergrowth with legs outstretched and a grin on her face. the lower half of her body landed squarely on top of one of the beasts with a solid thump, clearly doing some damage with the impact alone, eliciting a pained cry from the stunned creature. Though she hadn't managed to land on the second creature, her forward momentum sent her front paws to push hard against the animal's side, effectively knocking it over, away from where she landed in a heap on top of the first poor victim. Deciding to go for the sure kill first, she looked down and grabbed hold of the dik-dik's small head, biting down with a crunch and ending it's life. Looking back up immediately after the first kill she found the second creature was now scrambling wildly, stick-thin legs flailing to find it's footing so it could escape.

Not one to allow her prey to get away without a fight, she too scrambled to right herself, jumping through the thick foliage in pursuit of the fleeing prey that had only just managed to begin taking bounding leaps away from her. She'd clearly done at least a little damage when she knocked it over, because soon after it began it's great escape it found itself stumbling with each great leap, giving Caelum the chance to race after it and jump on it's back, bringing her prey back down to earth as it couldn't handle the weight of a wolf while stumbling on weak legs. She tried not to give it the chance to struggle or panic, seeking to crush it's windpipe since she couldn't get all the way up to crush the skull as she'd done with the first animal.

When it stopped moving she rose from her position atop the now dead dik-dik and began hauling it through the bushes till she found the flattened patch of greenery where they'd made their great attack, tail waving excitedly behind her. Leaving her catch by the first carcass she trotted over to Phantom and smiled, "Well, that was exciting! I almost didn't get them both!"
