What It Means To Us

Andy greets Charlie, a warm smile on her lips as she inquires if he is ready. He had come up with an idea and the girl is more than happy to help him execute some of the finer details. At his words, she offers him a wider smile and dips her head in agreement. Leo rubs against Charlie and the purple girl chuckles, shaking her head at the pudgy cub’s antics. At the recognition, the cub looks up at the taller wolf and mews a greeting of his own.

A call pierces the air and Yorrick, her brother’s fisher companion informs them that their target has been spotted. Together, they begin to move in the direction of the call while the bird asks about their plan of attack. Andy has some experience facing bears and she slowly begins to piece together a plan while listening to her brother’s assessment. Nodding at his words about not taking extra risks, she looks up to him with fierce determination blazing in her pale blue eyes.

Then, Charlie defers to her and the girl blinks in surprise before dipping her head in acknowledgement. Leo waddles along behind the pair and Andy slowly begins to explain, “They are fast and will try to either swat you or crush you. When we are close enough, I will signal for Aquila. She usually harasses their face to try and injure eyes and take some attention away from us.” Looking to the fisher, she adds, “Follow Aquila’s cues. She has learned what to look for to avoid getting injured.”

Turning her gaze back to her brother, Andy offers him a confident grin as she continues, “Leo will leap on the creature’s back and attack from there. We should split our attacks and one go for the face while the other tries to take out a leg. I think you should you go for legs since your teeth can do more damage. Aim for the joints and twist your head to help shred tendons and such.” There is so much that he should know but, in the end, it boils down to trusting your partner and reading their cues.
