OOC here!

Squeak and the eagle chirped at each other in a form of communication that Yvly did not understand at al, but her friend clearly understood what the rabble-rouser wanted as she glanced at her and Lily, slowly limping away. Ears going from slightly flattened to perking forward, the tawny female briefly looked at the greyscale female, one wolfy brow raised as she began following Squeak and the eagle, the latter flying to the next branch and hopping eagerly up and down upon it. "I agree. We'll have to keep them out of trouble," Yvly slyly remarked to Lily, motioning with her muzzle to Squeak and the bird.

Her head nodded thoughtfully at the greyscale female's warning of keeping to a slow pace. She had not even thought of that! It would still take some time to get used to the idea of looking out for the welfare of others, but she was learning. At about the pace of a snail that is, but she was getting there. "There was little use of birds back where I came from," Yvly explained to Lily while keeping a watchful eye on Squeak. "And they weren't too fond of the flat plains. Not enough trees for them, I suppose," she mused. But she agreed with the bird leading them to a meal that could help fill the pack caches. Even with winter nearly over it was still a high priority.

It didn't take too long for the excited bird to stop moving, now hooking its talons into a slightly swaying branch. Yvly's dark amber eyes surveyed the surrounding area, her gaze falling upon fresh rabbit tracks leading to a burrow at the base of one of the large cedarwood trees. So the eagle had been leading them to prey. Rabbits were always a good meal, and she knew for sure Lily could catch one. She was not so sure about Squeak though. It reminded her that she would need to show her friend how to hunt something other than fish at some point. "You have a plan?" The tawny female said to Lily, allowing her the chance to take charge if she wanted to, but she herself was happy enough to do it if Lily would rather follow orders this time.

OOC here!

Yvly nodded at the greyscale female's suggestion. For rabbits, at least when they were in their burrow, it was the only mostly successful way of catching them. But the wolves around these parts may know different ways of catching them. She herself had not hunted rabbits all too often so trusted Lily to make the right call. Maybe she knew something she did not. Her plan was smart and safe, just how the tawny female liked it. She always tried to plan out a hunt with the least amount of risk. Fatalities were something she would rather not happen on her watch. "If you can manage it, Squeak, would you like to dig around the back entrance to scare them our way?" Yvly asked her friend who was sat down by the eagle. Of course she would accept a no, but it would be nice to make her feel involved in the hunt. When Squeak's leg healed she would definitely get her more involved, but for now it would do.

Wolves were factotum creatures, but as any individual did liked to specialize. Hunting had always been one of the less specialised branches of work in a pack until Yvly factored in fishing. It was a foreign idea to her, to catch a fish and eat it, but maybe it was the same with how Squeak thought of them eating deer and rabbits. It was all a matter of perspective. "You and I can then wait by the front entrance then and catch two, maybe three if we're lucky." Then Squeak could say she had been a part of the success. And it seemed the eagle knew they were going to start soon as it had become silent. It would be only fair to give it something to eat if they caught anything as a thanks for showing them where the burrow was.

I am terribly sorry for the long wait! Been busy with school :x @Pip @Amaryllis

The tawny female smiled at Squeak's acceptance of her role in the hunt, watching with dark amber eyes as the younger wolf slowly and carefully made her way to the desired location to scare the rabbits out of their burrow. As long as Squeak did not over-exert herself Yvly would happily let her join in. It seemed only right to let her do so. She glanced momentarily back at the eagle as Lily spoke of possibly catching another for their dear friend. "It seems only fair," she replied, even though the idea of giving the bird a well-earned meal was displeasing to her. But, it had lead them to the burrow, so she could not complain. Maybe next time it would show them a fresh carcass. That would be nice.

As Squeak began excitedly digging at the back end of the burrow, making sure she was very much kenspeckle while doing so, Yvly set herself up in a much more hidden location, legs bent at the knees and body low. She would be ready when their prey decided they had had enough and tried to escape from Squeak's disturbance. Eyes meeting Lily's, she nodded once to show her readiness before returning to the wait. Luckily it was not long before small, furry forms shot out of the burrow. Without blinking the tawny female pounced forward with the intent of trapping one of the rabbits beneath her front paws so it could not escape, where she would deliver the killing blow.
