Hidden in the trees

The plan is laid out and Kichi runs towards the herd, snapping his teeth, lunging forward without actually biting any of them.  It wasn’t that kichi didn’t want to hurt them but only a need to keep all of them fearful of him and thus ready to quickly divert from one to the other, his eyes watching as many at once as he could.  When one deer tried to run in the wrong direction Kichi intercepted.  Soon enough the deer had enough and ran away from Kichi and the deer that had been cut away.  The fear was thick and Tove had gotten far enough away.

Kichi left the herd behind and ran to catch up with Tove.  Stretching his legs as long and fast as his body could go to catch up with the pair.  Once in range, Kichi would snap at a back leg, missing the first time, the second attempt getting a bit of leg but having to let go as the deer kicks out.  One more attempt and Kichi gets a solid grip, crunching down on the leg and while the leg didn’t break when it was let go the deer clearly stumbled heavily, giving Tove a good chance to finish it off.
