Lunch at the lake

Kichi had left the pack land, heading over to firefly lake on the hunt for deer.  It was morning, the sun had already crested the horizon but only a short while ago.  Merrick had agreed to go with him and the two would catch the scent of deer near the lake.

There was a cluster of four deer at the water's edge.  Three of the deer were grazing while another was getting a drink.  Two smaller deer were obviously younger, the spots of fawnhood were gone yet they still hadn’t reached full height.  Kichi watched the group for a moment, as far as he could tell the adult doe’s seemed in good health which meant the kids were the best targets.

The silver wolf glanced at Merrick, “How about we go for the one drinking?”  It felt awkward asking the other wolf for an opinion.  For a long time Kichi had only answered to himself and even on joining the pack, he kept mostly to himself for a good while.  Slowly the grey wolf was trying to learn how to be more of a team player and his hunting skills still needed work.
