Meaningful hunt

Ezra's head tipped with thought while Chade brought up going for the legs and pointed out a tree they could run it toward. It was as sound a plan as any and he was glad to see the dark blue boy taking a bit of initiative in setting up a plan this time. He was about to reply when Chade started second guessing a bit and Ezra looked at him with a measuring grin. "No no, we can make that work! Just keep your eyes up and get out of the way if it tries going for you, okay? Don't want you getting hurt on my watch!" With that decided they started moving toward their prey. He nodded for Chade to head toward the side of the guar that was farthest from the tree they would be running it toward and he started moving toward the opposite side so if it did hit the tree he'd be there to capitalize on it.

He waited till they were both in position and then they started their hunt, running toward the guar with snarls and barks. That got it running and he got in its path as it tried to dart the other way, nipping at its legs and rump to keep it moving and guiding it back toward their intended path. It was pretty clumsy with its heavy head of horns and was slower than he might have anticipated, but he didn't let his guard down. A swing of those horns could go badly pretty quickly. He nipped at its front leg as they neared the tree to get its attention onto him, giving Chade the opening to get a bigger bite on the animal's leg and hopefully send it toppling into the tree.
