ooc: I've only just realised you replied, sorry for my delay
Of course the man would be horribly mistaken. The boy's happy little chant hadn't driven away the herd of elk that were in fact driving there way. Alone, for Iorwerth certainly wasn't about to count the child in his count, there was only a slim chance that he would succeed in bringing one down and there presence was simply useless because of it. He supposed though he could hardly tell the boy off for scaring away prey now, not when there was clearly some coming towards them.
Olive eyes switched back to the pup all the same, or at least attempted to though it seemed that Daedalus had wandered rather quickly from the last place that Iorwerth had spotted him. Frowning slightly he tried to look for the pup, a little concerned as to where he may have vanished to. It was only as he heard the deep bellow of an elk that Iorwerth's head snapped to the scene in time to see the child, now backing away.
Apparently this one had an awful habit of getting himself into danger.
Once more Iorwerth wished that he had more of the pack with him, together they'd have more chance of safely driving the herd away from the pup but alone all he could do was try get Daedalus away from them before they started to charge. Slowly he moved towards the boy, gaze flicking continuously from elk to pup, or at least the grass obscuring the child, watching for any sudden movements from either. At last though he was close enough to see Daedalus for himself and halted at the shore as the boy joined him.
