Uh... Little Help?

Arc's ears perked with interest as the blue-hued boy explained that he had seen a herd of pronghorn up ahead. There was a weird soft spot in his heart for hunting pronghorn since that was the first real prey he had ever killed with the help of his mother so whenever he got the chance to hunt them he was always eager to do so. He chuckled a little bit when the other boy mentioned how his brother was the hunter of the two of them. He could relate with that since Tira hadn't really taken to hunting the way he had so he was usually the one to help his mother with hunts more often than not whenever she wanted the help. "That's alright! I can do the biting if you do the running." That was his job more often than not anyway with these saber teeth, especially since he had his growth spurt to his current height.
He looked off in the direction that his new pack mate pointed, considering for a moment as he told him to just tell him what to do. Once Ricin introduced himself Arc looked back to him with a grin, realizing he hadn't even introduced himself before he jumped straight into the hunting. Typical of him. "I'm Arcturus. Call me Arc," he replied with a little nod. "Alright, lets get a little closer so we can see what we're working with!" With that he continued on toward the herd, the pronghorn coming more clearly into view after a little bit of stalking. Once they got close enough, he ducked behind one of the rocks that dotted the open plain and peeked out around it to watch the pronghorn's movement. "Alright... Here's what I say we do. I'll creep around the outside of the herd over to that rock on the opposite side," he told Ricin, pointing out the rock in question. "I'll hide behind it and you scare them to get them running and guide them my way. I'll take it from there. Sound good?"
Once Ricin agreed he grinned and then started creeping around, moving quietly and hiding behind rocks as much as he could while he gave the herd a wide birth. Eventually he made it to his new hiding spot and positioned himself where there would be a good amount of the pronghorn between him and Ricin so there was a good chance at least one of them would head his direction once Ricin got them running. He peeked out and waved a paw toward Ricin, signaling he was ready for him.
