Yanah sucked in a breath, then released it and offered a smile. "I'm quite fine, just a bit disgruntled over the new alliance. You never know who to trust," she said, which wasn't completely a lie. Lycaon could possibly betray them, and it made sense to be wary, but that tidbit of worry was not her main focus. Still, it was convincing. As a second thought Yanah added, "Apricus, if you're up to it perhaps you could take a patrol out tonight. Just for hunting of course. Perhaps we may get lucky and chance upon a deer or two." That had nothing to do with her guilt or her later meeting, the pack really did need to hunt.

Apricus nodded understandingly. "Sure, I'll take out a patrol," he agreed, then barked for the hunters to gather. Thanatos had mentioned smelling deer in the area, so he took this as an opportunity to see what the new territory had it store for food.

Thanatos hopped to her paws and padded towards Apricus. She'd never been hunting before, so she thought she would try it out. She noticed that the Lycaon scent was gone, but figured that Yanah had blocked it out with the marker. "Shouldn't we give it a name?" Thanatos asked. She kept thinking 'Deer Place' but that was so uncreative.

Yanah considered this. Extra territory did sound a little uncreative. "Alright," she said, and looked at Thanatos. "You found it, why don't you name it then?" She looked around. The area was a bit of a clearing with scattered trees and tall wavy grass.

"Yannah, can i do anything?" Andraste wasn't a hunter and that would take some wolves from training. She sat down unsure of how to help the pack at the moment.

"If we're hunting deer then we can use all the help we can get. You're welcome to join us," Apricus said to the preliator.

Yannah nodded in agreement with Apricus. "He's right, taking down deer is no small task. And think of it as a fight. In essence, you do have to attack the animal and kill it. You could probably help by taking it down in the final charge," she explained. The Satrap didn't want to make her feel uncomfortable, but really on a hunt all skills were welcomed.

Thanatos sighed and looked around at the deer-filled clearing. "How about...Mystic Woods?" The name came to her suddenly. It didn't really fit the area, but it sounded nice. She also considered Timeless Timberland, but that sounded dumb.

Andraste nodded thankful for something to do. "It's got a nice ring to it." She said glancing over a Thanatos. Thinking about hunter it was true... Hadn't she used hunting as a way to teach with Vilk?

"Ok, so hunting deer is a bit different than hunting small game," Apricus began. "Let's split into two groups, Thanatos, Andraste and I will make up one group. Vilk and Astra will take the other," then turning to Thanatos and Andraste he continued, "Vilk and Astra will scare the deer in our direction, that's when we divide the deer up. It's much easier to take one down when they're seperated. After that all we have to do is pick out one from the crowd, surround it and take it down. Go for the small ones and stay out from under the hooves." With that Apricus led the little group down one of the many deer trails at the end of which was a small clearing in which four deer stood picking around at the vegetation. He nodded to Vilk and Astra to take up their positions and guided Thanatos and Andraste to their spots.

Yanah watched all of this. It was good that the pack was learning to hunt, but now that the focus wasn't on her she was growing impatient. Night couldn't come any faster. She wondered if he was as excited as she was. Maybe. Yanah shifted positions anxiously.

Andraste nodded once and started to fallow Apricus without question. She snifted the air once, she could smell some old sents yet nothing new. At least not yet.

Thanatos was glowing with excitement. This was her first hunt and she didn't want to skrew up. She followed Apricus and Andraste, sniffing around for deer scent. Nothing was fresh so far, so she continued walking.

Finally the little hunting group came across a clearing in which four deer were picking through the snow for food. Apricus nodded silently for Vilk and Astra to take up position while he guided Andraste and Thanatos to where they would wait to ambush the startled deer.
