Grusha's head had turned in Tae's direction, her ears tilted forward as she listened to her twin suggest using the small bones to pierce things. She thought about the bone that went through their father's nose and nodded. If they wanted to they could pierce their noses like his was, or they could pierce their ears. She could craft them a matching set of bone earrings that they could wear if they wanted. The only downfall was that she was sure piercing things was going to hurt, not that she minded a little bit of pain. "We could uth the smaller boneth like needleth." She suggested. "We can thew together pelth to uthe." There was always a way to use bones, no matter how small they were. It was the beat up, cracked ones that she had no use for.
Her eyes trailed from the tiny bones to the stone relic in the dirt when Tae mentioned it and she frowned. "I don't know." She admitted. "Maybe, but..." Her head tilted and she stared at it. "Maybe it juth meanth that the boneth belong to thumeone important." She suggested. "They're little, tho it had to eb a foal. Maybe one of the leaderth foalth?" She didn't really believe it that it served as protection. After all, if it were for protection wouldn't it have hidden the scent for the wolves or stopped them from digging it up?
"Leth get thoeth boneth out of there." She said, but before she could make a move to start removing them her attention was drawn to Nashoba. Her eyes narrowed as she watched him and Mal and Hel, all three of whom had spotted something moving in the bushes. "Find out what it is and kill it." she ordered the wolf then turned to her twin because she had a brilliant idea.
"We can replathe thethe boneth with what they kill, tho no one notitheh." She said. "Then later we can come back and dig thethe up when they're ready to be uthed." But she wasn't one to come up with any kind of plan without asking Tae what she thought because Tae was smarter than her. "What do you think?"
Meanwhile, Nashoba, Mal, and Hel had all moved through the brush to surround what they had all spotted. The deer, having not been paying attention while it was eating, was surprised when the three wolves emerged from the thick vegetation. Its ears flickered back and it turned, looking for an escape route, but everywhere it turned there was a wolf. It lowered its head, its antlers pointing at Mal and it was prepared to charge him so it could escape. He was sure that hree pups wouldn't be able to take him down! What it wasn't expecting was for Nashoba to howl and he wasn't expecting his body to suddenly be paralyzed and unable to move. Hel and Mal both moved in then, their jaws closing savagely around the deer's throat, effectively cutting off its oxygen and killing it.
