Faria scanned over the terrain with a general's eye. Mithras watched her with the same intensity she lent to the situation, he could practically see her mind turning over the problem at hand like a stone cast into a torrent. Buffeted here and there, dashed against chance and improbability, it would come out smooth. She announced at last that they would have to scare it out, and gave him the first part of the plan. A monkey ride, huh? Mithras dipped into a low bow, mocking her soon-to-be superior position. "As my lady commands," he drawled. Scaring it out seemed like the best possible choice now that she'd come up with it. Mithras probably would have just stalked it like any other prey, and grown frustrated when his skills paid off to the point where the damn boar didn't even know he was there. But this was way better.
He felt his friend settle into a comfortable position, one they'd both grown used to (and Caia too on the longer treks, once a younger Mithras had grown tired, or vice versa) in their youth. When Faria had burned her paws, walking had been nearly impossible. Mithras had been scared of what her family might have done, seeing as some families had sacrificed unfit children. He'd never asked (he'd been way too afraid,) opting instead to make sure Faria had plenty of time to learn and recover. Monkey rides had been born, and even though it was all in good fun these days, apparently it could still be put to good use. He doubted this boar had ever seen a giant, starry, two headed wolf before. Mithras let out a ringing howl, a caterwaul from hell, and charged across the expanse which lay between he and his prey.

NOTE: Caia, Faria, and his children are allowed in all of Mithras' thread, regardless of their status. If you're threading with him, expect them as well!
