Give my muse a compliment that would catch them off-guard.

      “Your power makes you reckless.”

                       “A better huntsman should know that the wolf does not hunt
                        the fox, for it understands that the fox is too quick and far
                        too clever for it. Indeed, too clever even for the strength of
                        the pack and all its strategy. And the burlier beast should
                        only starve itself in trying. From afar the wolf looks graceful.
                        But behind the fox it stumbles over its own brawn ———-“

            “But a dog, mindless of instinct in its training, may be driven to pursuit
                   by its master. I would prefer to contend with the master over the pawn …”

                                        “But I suppose someone must teach you the way of it.”

Quick you may be, aye. But I am patient, and we have the run of all Beleriand to chase you through. There are only so many kingdoms left for you to go to ground in, Noldo. And at the very last it will not be we who starves during the wait. 

*snort* It seems apparent to me that a fox may also be whipped to mindless pursuit of a quarry that benefits him little.
