Larkspur had never intended to truly sleep, not while they rested in such an exposed area without even the benefit of being able to quickly fly away. They hadn't even settled down for a restful sleep, ears still mostly pricked for the slightest sound of danger. So when Reed's whispered voice became pointed, sounding like proper words, cobalt eyes immediately peeled open and locked on the bob-tailed she-wolf sitting in front of them. They immediately lifted their head, uncrossing their forelegs from their resting position and lifting their wings as if in preparation to defend themself. They almost asked they were defending against, before following the other wolf's gaze to the river. They suppressed a relieved sigh, shifting to push themself to their paws and crept their way toward Reed, sinking down carefully to keep from startling the prospective prey. Hmm... there are a few ways we could go about this, Larkspur mused, half-way to reaching the larger wolf's side. The traditional option might be for the best - striking off to the side and snapping at the creature's hocks, though attempting to circle around it would be... annoying. And without their ability to properly suppress their wings, Larkspur just knew their stalking would be off. It's awfully close to the water where the soft soil is. And Reed is bigger than I am... They had an idea - they could easily identify the whispering signature that they knew as brambles though they weren't sure if they should execute it. They didn't use their talent for this sort of thing often, it felt... disingenuous to their hunting abilities. And also cruel to the poor plants being forced to grow with less than their best interests in mind so it could easily go poorly. The growling of their stomach reminded them however, of how hungry they were. Let's hope I don't ruin this for us, they sighed in their own mind. --- Text. Speech. Thoughts. |
Larkspur attempts to use their powers to grow and ensnare the deer with bramble bushes to make it easier for Reed to catch
Success: Larkspur manages to get the brambles to wrap around the deer's legs and hocks, tangling it up so it can't escape
Failure: They startle it into backing away from the river and further away
