Join the Hunt

Though Thane was more than helpful with his description of the animals he had thus far detected having residency inside their pack's territory, a list that was a bit longer than anticipated, she couldn't help but note that it lacked any larger game. She had known their chances of finding and then catching larger game between the two of them would have been meager at best, being still unfamiliar with the territory and not knowing all the little turns and tricks that they prey might pick up having lived here longer, but she had been hoping to hear a little about them. Of course, she felt out of place bringing this up to Thane, who was to be her mentor and leader, and so she merely nodded her head, hoping that at least the smaller game was heavy in abundance so that they could catch enough to feed the masses that made up the Valhallan pack.

As he suggested they start their trek into the forests in search of their first catch, Ashtoreth nodded eagerly, rising quickly to her paws with another slow wag of her tail. "After you," she began to say, ready for Thane to lead the way and follow after him through the woods in search of food, when she turned her head at someone else who approached them and suddenly blinked as her two-toned eyes took in the light brown form and vibrant blue eyes of the Lead Warrior. His presence was entirely unexpected, but eagerly accepted all the same, and she grinned before realizing it. "Leon," Ash greeted with another quick wag of her tail, brightening despite herself at his unexpected arrival and yet still feeling as if a little warning would have been helpful. It seemed not only were the fates determined to throw him into her path during the most inopportune times, but mostly when she least expected him as well. At least I'm not soaking wet this time, she thought gratefully, her eyes shifting between Leon and Thane as the former introduced himself to the latter.

More surprises! No sooner had Ashtoreth come to terms with Leon joining her and Thane in their hunting discussions, another new face approached, this one red and smiling and calling out to Leon. The slim grey wolf recognized her immediately as another of the Adravendi line, particularly the newly instated Beta to their pack. At so young, it was a wonder the youth had possessed such a strong enough will and sense of determination for such a challenging and demanding position, but seeing her up close, sensing from within her that knowledge and awareness necessary for such a job any misgivings she had been feeling regarding the young she-wolf holding such a position slipped away to nothing behind a friendly smile as the other addressed her cousin and proceeded to introduce herself to Ashtoreth personally. The little grey wolf nodded her head politely and murmured, "Ashtoreth," to reciprocate the introduction properly.

Sending another look with a little of her lingering surprise Leon's way, Ashtoreth glanced toward Thane seeking direction, grateful for the help and the company that had turned their hunting pair into a proper hunting party. "Looks like we've got a bit of help," she informed him happily, eager to know what he made of their strengthened numbers and improved skill among the four of them.
