Holey Cow Squat! [Pack Hunt]

Domari accepted his judgement of his own ability with gratitude and Red gave him a quick grin in return before they got back to business. He followed along grimly - for killing was a grim business, even when you were doing it to survive, because all life was connected, and shouldn't be a cause for levity - as Domari led them to the herd and they prepared themselves.
And then they were off.
He leaped with a snarl when the rest did, throwing himself among the herd before they could group together, giving chase to break them up whenever any of them seemed like they were going to stop and clump together.
Finally, the unhealthy cow bison lagged behind the rest, and they began to converge on her. Red continued to chase the herd for a while to be certain they would keep going and not turn back to help the cow, then he himself turned back to help his huntmates. They'd managed to bring her more or less to a stop as Cairo and the two new wolves latched onto her neck and face, so Red circled back to slash at her hamstrings. He caught one, and she kicked out at him, knocking him backwards before the leg gave out and she listed sideways. Luckily she hadn't been able to get a lot of force behind the kick, but it was enough to knock over, and he was left to pick himself up wincing from the bruising on his ribs, but ready to dive back in.
