Spooking the animal into running towards one of them was risky as the very best, and there was no guarantee that it wouldn't easily outrun them. Maybe if they were very lucky they could sneak up unnoticed for long enough to be relatively close before the deer noticed... Glancing towards the deer, he hummed thoughtfully for a moment.

"Perhaps we could try to combine the strategies... sneak in close as we can without being spotted, and one of us can startle it into running towards the other. Preferably through the water, it'll slow the deer's movements a bit and give us time to catch it." It was as good a plan as any. He waited for a moment to see what Elias thought before moving to sneak his way closer, using the shadows of the palm trees as cover to hide his dark pelt in the sea of golden sand.
