Aquilo opened his eyes and yawned. He had been asleep inside the air temple but a noise outside had woken him. He got up and stretched then he walked outside to investigate the noise. When he saw it was only a squirrel nosily collecting nuts in the trees he sighed but he was awake now anyway so there was no point in guarding the air temple anymore as the cattails were up. His stomach growled so he decided that he would go hunt. Prey was scare in the mountains but he knew that rabbits could often be found in a small grassy area a small bit down hill from camp. He made his way carefully down hill until he could see the place that he had been looking for and sure enough he could see a few rabbits frolicking in the grass. He made his way further down slope towards them hiding himself behind some bushes so they wouldn't see him. When he was close enough he carefully selected his victim- a plump rabbit who was nibbling on some grass very near to the wolfs hiding place. He leapt from his hiding place and caught the rabbit with ease. He watched the others scamper off while he settled down to eat his. Once he was finished he got to his feet again and howled to his pack calling them to him. It was time for them to go on a proper hunt once again.

Nasira woke up in her den. She stretched and looked out of the den. Aquilo was howling. She stood and stretched before trotting out of the den and walking over to him, joining in with him in the howling call for the others. Time for a hunt and Nasira was hungry and ready for one.

Aiolos awoke with a start at the sudden howls ringing in the air. With one swift motion she had easily jumped to her feet, a small smile trickling onto her feautres. A hunt would be nice, and she felt the need to get moving around a little. Before she moved she rocked back and stretched her upper body before doing the same with the back of her body. Jogging from her sleeping place under a tree she began making her way towards the howls of Aquilo and Nasira. She moved easily over the land, her small white body sticking out like a sore thumb. As the other two came into view she sped up a little, reaching them easily. "You called?" She asked with a small smirk.

Nasira stopped and looked at Aiolos, who had just arrived. To answer her question, she said one word: "Hunt." Then she looked back at Aquilo as he called for the others, wondering where they were and if they were coming or not. She sure hoped so.

At the appearance of Aiolos Aquilo also stopped his howling. He gave a short nod to confirm to both the she-wolves that they were going to hunt but otherwise he remained silent. His beta and one of his best hunters were now present so if no one else came they might still be able to catch something decent sized for the pack to eat maybe a deer if they found one. He sank down onto his haunches ears pricked waiting,listening to see if any other wolves from the pack would respond to his call and come join them for the hunt. He knew some wolves wouldn't come they had other jobs like Jane their healer but of the rest? He expected them to come and if they didn't well he'd be disappointed in them.

Nasira layed down on her belly and looked around, glancing at Aquilo every so often. It was rather sad to see that no one else wanted to go on a hunt, but she supposed they probably had other things to do.

Aiolos sat down, remaning a foot or two away from the others. She was a wolf who liked her distance. The feel of the hunt began to pump through her veins, the dirt kicking up under her paws, her claws connecting with the animal, and the thrill of the chase. But she remained calm, it wasn't like her to get excited. Out of character if you thought about it. She couldn't help but wonder why the others had not come, it was a hunt and considered a pack activity yet they were not coming. "If they aren't coming then I say let's get going while their scent is still strong." She commented.

Aquilo who had himself just been about to suggest going before Aiolos spoke gave a node of his head. "I don't think anyone else is coming so yes I'd say we had better go. The three of us should be able to manage fine anyway" he said getting to his feet once again. He turned slightly towards the left where the biggest forested area on their territory lay not leaving yet but ready of only waiting on the two she-wolves to speak their agreement and get to their feet and to follow him. In the few moments he had to wait he thought about what wolves there were in the pack and what excuses they would probably give him. He enjoyed hunting why they hadn't come was a mystery to him.

Aiolos nodded and stood silently, instantly falling into what others always seemed to call 'her mode'. Where every sense that was needed in hunting was basically put on high alert. If you knew her, you knew the one thing she hated the most was losing her prey. It just didn't sit well with her. Her nostrils flared as she took in the scents around her, walking forward with all the confidence of a hunter who knows what they're doing. She could pick up the smells of a few vermin and other small mammals but she was searching for something bigger. Lifting her head a little she caught the scent of what could have been a small herd. "Smells like a small deer herd. One or two doe, buck, maybe a fawn." She said, mainly to herself then anyone else.

Aquilo seeing Aiolos in her mode, ready to hunt glanced at Nasira to see if she was ready too. It seemed yes so he looked forwards again and followed silently after Aiolos, he wasn't going to be foolish and scare away the prey by being noisy. He sniffed the air his nose catching the same scents Aiolos had. He gave a quick nod "Lets go for those then" he said quietly after Aiolos had spoken. He sniffed again when they were a little bit closer , it seemed like she had been right two does,one buck and a fawn. The fawn he was sure they would be able to take down easily, maybe they could try for one of the does. Maybe they would be fortunate and one of the does or maybe even the buck would be wounded- easy prey.

{Sorry I haven't posted until now, I was waiting to see if Ember would post}
Aiolos followed her nose to the scent, trusting her hunting instinct with every fiber in her body. It seemed to lead her feet in the direction of a potential meal, and finally when she found what she was looking for she instantly dropped to the ground, tail giving small flicks. She studied the small herd for a moment, out of the two does they were both about equal in size. Minus the fact that one of them happened to be fatter. Her eyes zeroed in one of the two does, the slightly smaller one. "The smaller doe has something wrong with the back leg. Look how it limps when it puts weight down on the right one." She leaned in towards Aquilo to whisper, trying to keep her voice low. The only thing that could have passed for them noticing was a flick of the ear. Her muscles tensed as she watched the group carefully. "If one of us separates the doe she'll be easy prey." She said quietly.

[Don't worry about that, I'll edit this post to reply soon just my cat is on my lap walking around as he likes to do so I can't really type properly xD]
Aquilo had followed quietly behind Aiolos careful not to make a sound, he dropped to the ground next to her watching the small deer herd carefully. As Aiolos whispered in his ears his eyes focused on the smaller of the two does. He nodded his head slightly as he observed how the doe limped when she put weight down on her right back leg as Aiolos had said. Aiolos really was an excellent hunter, one of the best maybe even the best in the pack. She had found the prey and observed it far better than he had and the alpha admired her for that. He nodded his head once again at her next suggestion then paused for a moment before giving his reply. "If you separate her myself and Nasiri can take her down?" he spoke in a quite whisper directed towards the she-wolfs ear. As he spoke he realized where was the beta female? He hoped that she was coming since in his following of Aiolos he hasn't really paid any attention to where the second she-wolf was.

Aiolos nodded her head at his suggestion. Separation of the doe would be easy, as long as she kept herself as far away from the buck as she could then her work would be easy. Her eyes looked around, the fawn was lazily playing, the buck chewing on grass with a raised head, and the does were now eating peacefully. She looked behind her to search for Nasiri but didn't see her. She frowned, had the beta simply given up on the hunt? Turning forward her mind was already working out a new technique. "Separate the doe from the herd and go after the hurt leg. If we take out the leg she won't be going anywhere. But we have to be swift about separating her, the buck will defend." She told him quietly before resting her weight on her back legs. She studied the group for a second, the bigger doe turned herself from the smaller one to eat as the fawn pranced around the buck. Aiolos eyed the few inches of space she had to work with. "Get ready." She advised before pushing off, using the built up tension to propel herself forward. A sharp growl left her throat as she slid in between the two does, keeping directly beside the smaller one. Being on the left side she wouldn't have any access to the leg without letting the doe slip back with the herd.

{Not much happened. They found a small herd and Aiolos is separating the hurt doe from the rest so Aquilo and Nasiri can jump to it!}

Aquilo nodded as Aiolos said 'Get ready' and did so. He shifted his weight onto his back legs a little more ready to spring out from his hiding place. Thoughts about where Nasiri could be were now forgotten. either she was coming or she wasn't right now there was a doe to be taken down. He watched Aiolos carefully, once she had managed to separate the doe from the herd Aquilo leapt from his hiding place towards the doe.

((OOC: It's Nasira, but that's okay, unless you're talking about someone else.))
Nasira carefully waited for her chance to make a move. It shouldn't be long, but she could never be sure. She watched carefully, just waiting for the right moment to strike... If she didn't get to make a move, well, she didn't know what would happen, but she hoped nothing bad.

Aiolos snapped her jaws at the doe's legs as she tried to veer away from the now running Aquilo. But she wasn't one to back down and she only pushed herself closer to the doe, bumping into its side. She could see the panicked look in its eyes as it looked from side to side. Reaching down she snapped at its ankles. As she pressed closer towards it, it began veering to the right. There was no doubt that Aquilo would now have to just move forward and he would be directly at the leg. She pushed closer, growling the whole time. With a swift motion she glanced over her shoulder, the buck was watching them with angry eyes but was trying to get the rest of his herd to safety. "Aquilo! We don't have much time before the herd is safe and the buck can focus on us!" She called out to him.
