Every Meal Should be Fast Food

Aderyn looked at Afanen, she seemed a bit annoyed and said to her: ''No, I told you earlier everyone needs to take a part in the hunt. Even you.''
Then she looked at Mikazaru both of them, explaining them what her plan was for the hunt today.
It was a pretty long explaining, and Mikazaru didn't feel for listening to a long conversation. Still, he knew this was important, so he tried to push himself to keep listening carefully.

''Now. Of course we won't be going for the big elk bulls, with antlers, that would be a bit suicidal and probably not the bigger female elk either, I think, we should try to pick off perhaps one of the slightly smaller female elk, instead of going for any sickly or baby elk. I don't think that would feed us much, but I'll probably be wrong on this as I am expert in the running and chasing and not the picking of the elk.''

Mikazaru nodded and tried to make the whole plan settle in his head, which took pretty long. But Aderyn didn't give him a time to think, as she kept on telling. It was hard for Mikazaru to keep up with her. He wanted to tell her she had to slow down, but didn't want to sound rude. So he said nothing.

''I think I should perhaps be at the head of the chase, I could cut in front of the elk from time to time to veer it towards Agro and Chance. I also suggest that there should be two wolves who are sort of the main, well not really back up but sort of helping the elk to move along and such, I would usually put Claudius and Razzy in these positions, but seeing as I do not know two of your abilities I will go simply on how I think you will do best.''

She looked around and Mikazaru tried to look at her like he understood it all, though he was still in his processing mode, which took longer than he had expected. Mostly he understood everything someone said to him in a split second, but maybe it were his nerves messing with him, as he was pretty nervous at the time when Aderyn spoke.
''Feel free to correct me if you think I have made the wrong decision.''

''Will do.'', Mikazaru said and he grinned a bit. He was still processing it all, but now he understood a few things better. But now he still didn't know which position he had to take in this hunt. But he didn't want to ask. Maybe Aderyn would explain him in a minute.

But instead Aderyn went to talk to Marina, leaving Mikazaru and Afanen aside for a little while. Because Marina needed some explainin, too.
Mikazaru took this time to get some new contacts. He took a deep breath and looked at Afanen, he started to talk to her to get to know her better.
''So, I see you're pretty quiet, too? Mostly I would talk as less as you, I don't know why I'm talking more today.'', he chuckled at that. Then he tried to correct himself. ''Anyway, don't you like to hunt?''

Aderyn turned back to them, finally telling their positions. For Mikazaru this was a sign of relief. He was bad at picking his own position.
''I think that perhaps you two would be best suited as the sort of distant back up who kind of well, do help along but not as much.'', she said and she looked at her sister. ''Yes, you are getting a sort of easier job than the rest of us but don't think that you can wriggle your way out of it by buttering me up, saying how much you lack in strength and speed and whatnot or not even trying your best.''
Then sheb started to joke: ''You also need to lose some weight and get some exercise.''

Mikazaru smiled and wagged his tail.
''That will do, I think.'', he said, happily enough with the position he was given. He didn't want to be in the spot lights anyway. He hated too much attention.
He was happy.


(Thanks Aderyn, now my post is long too. XD)

Agro grumbled to himself a little as he walked. It was something about manners or about meat, but that in itself was difficult to discern. The occasional curse could be heard uttered by the brute, but they didn't seem directed at anyone in particular.

Turning back to see the wolf following him, Agro's brow furrowed at the sight of the newcomer who followed. His tail was tight between his legs, and he looked... uneasy? Agro guessed that much of it had to do with the fact that he was a smaller wolf, probably not one who threw himself under an elk very often. Or was it he was unnerved by Agro? The thought of it nearly made him laugh out loud.

"Not to worry, boy-o." Agro said reassuringly. "I haven't lost a wolf on a hunt in almost a year." He grinned, seeming to mean well, but the fact that he had indeed lost wolves on the hunt would make some wolves nervous. "Oh, I ain't expectin' ye to throw yerself at the beasties, that's usually my job 'round here." He explained. "But I like the comp'ny, and I didn't want to leave ye with the brats fer too long. They're small, but the little male's got a bit of a mouth on 'im, as ye could disern by yer meetin' of his 'quaintance." Agro hadn't stopped or slowed since he started talking, and he kept his voice low so as to not disturb the elk.

"Ye ain't much of a talker, eh?" He said quizzically. "See, I like that in a wolf. Folks like me talk non-stop, so it's pleasin' to have a listener now 'n again. I imagine at least one a yer mates is the chatter in the group. Oh, I'm sure they'll catch up to ye soon, Chance. S'Chance, right? And maybe ye'll be up'ter chattin' more with'em around."

Seemingly suddenly satisfied with their locale, Agro lowered himself, and tensed. They were downhill of the elk, in the direction they would be running in when surprised. He would have to not which one Aderyn had sorted out for him to take down, and from here would be able to cut it off, even if it darted wildly in one direction or another.

Now they could begin.

Mikazaru went after the two wolves, the Meister and one wolf he knew the name of, Chance. He kept running and running, until he had caught up with them.
He sat down behind them, catching his breath as the Meister was speaking. Mikazaru still didn't know his name and he felt stupid for that.
He was just in time to catch up on the last sentences of their conversation.

''Ye ain't much of a talker, eh? See, I like that in a wolf. Folks like me talk non-stop, so it's pleasin' to have a listener now 'n again. I imagine at least one a yer mates is the chatter in the group. Oh, I'm sure they'll catch up to ye soon, Chance. S'Chance, right? And maybe ye'll be up'ter chattin' more with'em around.'', the Meister said to Chance while Mikazaru sat there quietly, listening.

''Mmm no... An' yeah, it's Chance.'', the wolf called Chance replied. Now Mikazaru knew for sure this wolf's name was Chance. He felt a little bit more sure about the situation already.
How much he hated to intrude anything, he had to make sure these two knew he was there with them. And it didn't seem like they had seen him around yet.
So he got up and cleared his throat, ready to speak.

''I'm sorry for intruding but... I was wondering if I could help you hunt...'', he said and he searched for some other words he could use to convince them he was able to help them. ''I'm pretty fast and I can run for long distances, I could lure them to your trap, if you have any...''
He swallowed, hoping they would accept his help. Because he really wanted to fit in, even though this wasn't a real pack.

“Ugh. Now what?”Dakota sighed as she watched the wolves with a bored face,“Are we seriously going to just have to wait? That sounds boring~”

Damian rolled his eyes at his sister. She could real annoying with her moaning. The girl needed to know when to shut up. “Just stay quiet and watch the hunt” He mumbled as he watched the wolves ready themselves for the hunt. He wished that he could be where they were, but he was too small. He hated that. He wanted to grow up and become strong now, not wait until he grew a little bigger. He let out a little growl at the thought. Claudius, who was useless at everything, was hunting and he was made to sit back and watch that?! Damian didn't like that idea at all.

“Damian! Dame! Lets go swimming!”

“What are you talking about?” He asked unsure of what she said. Did she say swimming? He was sure she did. He watched as she danced away and towards whatever location she was determined to get to. Swimming didn't sound like a bad idea. It would be better than to watch the hunt. He'd have to see Agro or Claudius get hit by an elk another time. Damian got to his paws and trotted after his sister at his own pace. He wasn't really built for speed and his leg made sure that he would never be able to beat his sister at a race.

“Come on Bro, you could do with a wash.

“Shut up!” He snapped as he finally built up his speed and chased after her.

(Lame)

~~Dakota and Damian have gone to the Babbling brook~~~

Wolves addressed: Dakota

(Sorry, not a post)
(Hello~ Dakota and I wanted our characters to sneak off to the Babbling brook without the others knowing where they are going and what they are gonna do. This is why Dakota said "“Damian! Dame! Lets go swimming!” Dakota whisper shouted so the other wolves wouldn't hear her." However, it seems that no one has read that and has heard them. So can you pretend that they didn't hear please.So, shh, no one knows they're gone )
