The plan was to escape without potentially causing any alarm to the herd. Alone and needing to protect the pup Iorwerth certainly wasn't going to take any chances when there was a herd of elk so close. The single one alone may have been a slightly different story, though if this fellow charged then the rest were likely to follow suit and the last thing he wanted was for he and the pup to be caught in the midst of a stampede.
Before he could quietly guide the pup away though another wolf chose to interfere, charging up to the elk and growling. The creature stepped closer and for a moment he assumed the plan had gone to rot and this female had just put them all in danger. She was Loccian's adopted daughter if he recalled correctly, and he was prepared to lift himself from the ground and push her away when suddenly the elk decided it'd had enough of the wolves and moved away. Once there was enough distance and the rest of the herd had begun to leave the area as well Iorwerth rose to his full height, a small growl aimed in Silveris' direction as she stepped forwards to scold the boy. "What were you doing? You could have got killed, or hurt!" The words were incredibly hypocritical of her.
"You foolish child!" He declared, words clearly aimed towards Silveris. "Did you not acknowledge the rest of the herd? If they had chosen to stampede you could have gotten us all killed. He had the far more sensible idea, hiding rather than risking aggravating the elk. They may only be prey though they are still dangerous for a single wolf. There is a reason we hunt such large animals in groups and not alone." She was still young of course, though for her own good hopefully she would learn quickly.
His gaze looked back to the younger wolf now, relatively happy despite all that had happened. "Look what I found! It's a pretty green stone! Oh come on. They couldn't even see me. I'm fine Silveris! Look! I found a pretty stone!" Hopefully he did acknowledge that there had been some danger, that this wasn't the sort of situation he should go looking for. "Sorry if I made you and Silveris worry. I was just out looking for boo-tay! You should go treasure hunting with me! I still need to find some feathers!"
Olive eyes glanced briefly at the stone though he was hardly impressed with it or the idea of treasure hunting. "Feathers are for birds. They are useless to wolves." He stated, facts taking priority over any imagination. At least the anger had gone from his tone now, towards Daedalus anyway.
