[go after prey that's been separated from the herd-- every hunter knows this, either learned or by instinct. and the wolf should have gone after the horse careening towards it instead, the motions drawing all of its eyes...
but instead of easy prey, the wolf interprets the horse barreling straight for it as an attack instead, and acts accordingly. the middle head snarls, baring the largest teeth of the beast, and the left head echoes the sound softly, as if its heart isn't in it and is simply just following the leader around. the wolf avoids the horse entirely, stalking around to reach the men instead in a steady gait, tail low, ears pricked-- even the young, avoidant head has perked up, finally looking horse warily. it knows a potential danger when it sees it, and it will certainly keep an eye out. it will deal with the horse if it must, but prey first.]
