Bee and Tony started moving at a jog toward their prize. As they got closer to the cluster of white fluffy clouds off in the distance, they were able to make out the heads and legs of the individual sheep milling about in a mass of bodies. Once they were about fifty feet away from the herd, they stopped at the top of the hill to examine them.

“Now what?” Tony asked.

“What do you mean, ‘now what’?” Bee asked indignantly. “You’re the farm boy. I thought you would know what to do here. I mean, I think this is the closest I’ve ever been to a sheep.” She looked around to get a bearing on their surroundings. The sheep were gathered in a kind of earthen bowl formed by three slight hills of plains.

“I don’t know anything about sheep. I was very clear that we never kept any. I’m—well, I was—a farmer, not a shepherd,” Tony shot back. Then, in a more thoughtful tone, he mulled over their options. “Maybe we just walk up to them? They had previous owners, right? Maybe if we have food, they’ll come with us?”

“Have food? They eat grass! They’re standing on their food. What are we going to offer them?” Bee said, exasperated. “But sure, let's just try walking up to them. Aren’t sheep herded for a reason?”

“Yeah, but most people use dogs or something for that. I suppose if you stand on the other side of them, we can prevent them from just running away if I get too close,” Tony said.

“Do you really need to get close to them? If we both work together, maybe we can just force them toward the castle,” Bee suggested.

Tony shrugged. “I think it would be good to get a feeling for them. But we don’t have to. We have to see what they’ll do when we get close to them in the first place, right? Or else, how’d we plan on herding ‘em?”

“Fine. But if we make them run, let's at least make them run in the right direction.”

“Of course, I’m not an idiot,” Tony said, sounding slightly offended. Pointing at one of the far hills, he added, “Why don’t you go stand over there, and I’ll come in from a bit of an angle.”

Moving into position, Bee watched as Tony strafed around the other side of the flock of sheep. When she was in position, he started trying to carefully approach the sheep. Walking slowly, he spoke softly to the animals as he moved. She couldn’t quite make out what he was saying, but it seemed soothing. Once he got a few feet from the edge of the sheep, he paused to see how they would react.

The sheep didn’t do anything interesting. A few looked up at him but quickly went back to snuffling the grass. Bee and Tony shared a look, slightly confused about how to handle the situation. He took a single experimental step forward. Immediately, the sheep acted as if they were a hive mind.
