Uh... Little Help?

Ricin feels extremely lucky because his fellow pack member knows how to hunt! Or, the blue boy thinks that other boy knows how to because he talks about biting. The taller boy nods his head and wags his tail, giving his name and receiving Arcturus name in return. His smile grows as Arc suggests they get closer and Ricin nods while saying, “Good idea, I’ll follow you.” With that he falls into step behind the yellow-maned boy as they move closer to the pronghorns and soon the herd comes into view more clearly. Arc ducks behind a rock with Ricin following close behind. The blue boy waits and allows the hunter to do his assessments in silence, his own ruby gaze scanning the herd. Arcturus points out a rock and lays out the plan and Ricin nods in understanding as he says, “Sounds good, I’ll wait here until you are in position.”

With that the golden-maned wolf creeps away, carefully making his way to his hiding spot. The blue boy tracks his companion’s movements while he goes, eyes darting over to the herd every now and again. When Arc disappears behind the rock, Ricin readies for the chase ahead. He sees the other boy peek out and wave at him which has the blue boy smiling. With an incredible burst of speed, Ricin sprints out from behind the cover and races toward the grazing herd. Ears flick and heads swivel toward the charging wolf and he releases a mighty bark to startle the herd into action. Cries of alarm sound and the prey animals turn to flee but Ricin is already working to cut off the path of three pronghorns. It works and he changes their course to drive them right by the ambush spot. Despite his size, Ricin is very agile and he manages to keep all three in line as they near the rock and the awaiting Arc.
