She agreed, completely absent of hesitation, like he'd known she would. Mithras let loose a victorious whoop and charged back down the slope, minding himself so as to slow once they reached level terrain, for the hobbit's sake. It was a pretty risky idea to go boar hunting in the first place, but being exhausted too? No thank you, he really didn't feel like getting his best friend gored.
The wallow was pretty easy to find, too. It short run through a grove of old growth oak and maple opened into an alluvial flood plain, lazy creek flowing through it's center. He splashed across a shallow crossing, water barely passing his ankles, before slowing to a stop. A wall of hills and a thicket of young hickory trees lay on the far horizon, and the boar was waiting somewhere inside (he hoped.) "Okay," he said, hopefully far enough away that his voice wouldn't compromise them. "His burrow-thingy is under the tallest, oldest hickory tree. You can see it from here," he said, gesturing with his snout to the dominant crown just right of center mass.
He'd never tried boar before, mostly because they were so dangerous that no one really bothered with the risk. But this one was smaller than whatever species they had at home and he was ready for it! "Lead the way!" he said with a grin. He might not admit it out loud, but Ria was a lot smarter than him. He'd never been very good with strategy, and he was more than willing to be the brawn for her brains. That just made things way more fun.
