She agreed to the plan, so all he had to do now was wait. If everything went according to plan, then they'd have themselves a good catch, and she'd have a good meal to hold her over for a little while. While he was interested in the pelt, he didn't care one way or another if he got to take it home today. Being in a pack, he had plenty more chances to snatch another zebra another day, though he wasn't in a rush. It's not like he had any immediate plans for a zebra pelt, anyway. He strained his ears and practically held his breath as he lied in wait, listening to what was going on outside of his hiding position. Things were quiet, at least, until he began to hear the sound of hooves trotting with a sense of urgency. Blue gaze narrowed as he peeked above the edge of the ditch he was hiding in, and spotted the zebra getting closer to him with the stranger following steadily behind. She seemed to heed his warning. Good. He didn't quite feel like dragging her back to the pack to fix her up if she had gotten kicked, but he would if he had to.

Pressing himself into hiding, he heard the zebra get close, and within moments, it had appeared at the ditch and prepared to make a jump for it. As soon as it did, Greed lunged up, jaws open as he struck from beneath like a snake in the grass, grabbing a hind leg and using his weight in the surprise attack to drag the zebra to the earth. With a panicked cry, the zebra hit the ground. Hard. And it began to try and pull against him, but the angle at which Greed had caught its leg and the way it was being dragged into the ditch prevented it from being able to right itself, let alone execute a defensive kick. If the she-wolf was quick, she would be able to grab hold of its throat and finish it off before the beast could flail its way free.
