If I may?

The man was quick, racing forward with muffled paw steps. She would follow just as swiftly, rosen pillars taking long strides as she kept her immense frame closer to the ground and her tall cherry tinted audits perked for the mewling of the young ungulates. As the herd came into view, the dual toned male nudged her and gestured with his muzzle towards the herd. She was about to speak, but the largest buck turned to look in their direction, and immediately the giantess fell silent, pressing herself to the terra. She stuck out like a sore thumb, but many years hunting on her own had taught her how to hide. When the four pointed deer finally was satisfied by the apparent peace, he returned to cautious grazing. Silken voice low, she would murmur her plan to the male. "I'll spook the herd, hopefully I can get them running, or at least distracted, and you scout around and search for fawns. Their scents are muffled by the afterbirth, which has seeped into their fur, but you can usually find them under bushes. They'll mewl if you make a bit of noise." The femme would mutter, crimson gaze repeatedly flicking to the herd before them. Watching the man's features, she would wait for the okay. "Wait for my signal." She would add before slinking through the brush and occasionally flicking her tail into bushes to draw attention and make the creatures uneasy.
Soon the wary buck moved closer, tentative step by tentative step. Positioning herself so she faced the creature, she waited for it to come a bit closer. When it did, she lunged from the brush, snapping her massive jaws in the shocked ungulate's face. A sharp bark escaped her maw, the definite signal. Hopefully Magnus would get the message, she didn't have time to make her ploy any more obvious. The deer may be dumb, but they weren't that dumb. Soon the females were frantic, many fleeing through the undergrowth. She dodged a few attempts from the buck at gouging her side with his impressive antlers, dancing out of reach and then returning to snap at his face a few times. She would wait for the new companion of hers to give her a show that he was successful, and then they would run. It was nearly a guarantee that this mule deer male would not be letting them off easily now, but she could evade it. The wintry goddess had done it many times before, and would do it many more times in the future.
