Tlarx bobbed his head toward the female's words as they continued to sit. His eyes scanned over the land below, observing the areas of blue- water sites. Registering this topography within his mind, he would remember where the water was when he needed it. Looking at Athena from the corner of his right eye, he shrugged his shoulders. Large muscles moved fluidly beneath his white coat, rippling the shoulderblade region ever so slightly as they settled back into place. "Ah, ok. Well, I apologize- I feel as if I caused the cougar to attack you. It should have been me it was attacking." His chocolate eyes were pools of honesty; he was glad he got that off his chest.


Looking back to the forest below, he now cleared his throat, speaking once more. "Well, now that we are on the subject of food, would you like to catch a bit to eat?" A small smile adorned his muzzle as he spoke these words. With one quick movement, the man was on all fours, heavy paws gripping at the cold stone beneath him. Ah, the mountains were lovely to be on, especially on quite the hot day. Flicking his tail, he looked back towards the jagged rocks, scoping out the area for prey. "I'm gonna assume this place is full of mountain goats, eh?" he released a light-hearted chuckle at his comment. Mountain goats were quite a plenty from where he descended from, as were big horn sheep. The handsome man stood now, eyes still upon the mountains as he waited for the woman's words.

Teeth nibbled on his ear, and Tlarx could not help but release a playful growl. As the small white woman before him took off, he pushed forth, muscles in his hind legs working to propel his large body after the lady ahead of him. She was fast. Way faster than him. He felt like a massive beast, working his way along the jagged dark rocks after the woman. As the came towards the peak, he suddenly changed direction, heading off to the right. As he loped along, the man raised his head, ebon nostrils widening to take in the air around him. It was stale; no sign of prey. With a grunt, he continued along, his reliable stamina keeping him running along.


Dark eyes peered to his left as he watched Athena race along. She was elegant, her muscles working beneath her ivory pelt as she dashed forth. She was like a speeding bullet, her aerodynamic body speeding along, white paws seeming as if she was barely touching the rocks. Looking back forward, Tlarx had almost slammed into a small outcropping of rocks- damn it, he distracted himself. Rolling his eyes, he scaled upward over the outcropping, looking around for any sign of goats.


A small clump of white was to be scene in the distance. There they were...but they were so far. Wagging his tail, he released an airy wolf, one that was to be heard by Athena but not loud enough to travel a great distance. He excitedly pumped his legs, paws gripping the stones as they touched down on their cold surfaces.

Surely, no, definitely, the taste of a freshly killed goat would be much more palatable than that of a day old corpse. Tlarx knew that Athena had not seen the goat before he had; this made him smile devilishly. Lowering his tail, he crept down from the outcrop, and made his way towards the white woman silently. Once within range, he smirked to her, teeth flashing for a moment. "Guess I'm the winner" he cooed, puffing his silvery chest outward. His voice had some teasing within it, but of course in a playful manner. Looking back toward the white blob, he nodded to Athena "Ready? I'll hang right and you can go left, if you'd like. We can flank him."


With these words, Tlarx stood, waiting for Athena's O.K. He felt the thrill of the hunt begin to enter his body, adrenaline begging to pour itself into his bloodstream. His jaws parted from the run, pink tongue lolling out as he panted. His tail remained lowered, but it swayed to and fro. He was excited. It had been awhile since he hunted with another wolf, so this would provide them with a fantastic opportunity to hone their skills as well as gain a full belly. Although he had eaten the old corpse, he would most certainly scarf down the fresh flesh of another goat.

Tlarx smirked before nodding his head "That sounds like an even better plan" With that, he nudged her neck in a friendly manner before slinking away, chocolate gaze focusing upon the ledge that she had pointed out to him. His massive body lowered itself toward the gray shaded rocks, paws gripping precisely onto the jagged stones as he went along. He lifted his head slightly, nostrils widening to take in the goat's scent. Excellent...he was down wind of the stocky beast. Hopefully Athena would be able to sneak up on him with no issue at all. He had faith in her; she was lithe, her small frame capable of carrying her like a ghost.


He continued forward now, breathing becoming heavy. Heart began to beat hard within his chest as adrenaline began to flow through his bloodstream. The hunt was exciting him; he was trying to remain calm. Tail lowering, he came within range of the rock, and slipped silently toward the edge of it, but remained hidden. He could hear the heavy clops of the creature's hooves on the rocks below as it scanned the gray for any greenery. Alright.... he thought to himself, waiting for the pretty ivory woman to make her move.


As she moved swiftly around the outcrop that the goat stood near, Tlarx readied himself. A slight meeeehhh from the goat's mouth sent him into action. The goat moved to the right, attempting to scale up the outcrop and escape Athena's grasp. With a growl erupting from his throat, the massive man moved swiftly, leaping to the right and towards the sturdy white creature. Jaws opened and body outstretching, he left the gray stone he was on, waiting to feel flesh beneath his claws.


The impact was hard. The heavy man put all his weight slamming into the goat, sending it off balance. Its hooves failed to hold it up as he tore his fangs into its side- time for Athena to help in finishing it off.
