Uzuri was careful to stay in the darker end of the pool; although she blended well, her yellow feet would give her away.
Her eyes widened as she slowly ran out of air, and she let small bubbles escape her mouth.

Janja saw the bubbles. A small grin crossed her face and she spoke queitly. "Gotcha," she mummbled before plunging her head underwater where the bubbled were. She aimed her the pups scruff. She only would bite down lightly to pull her up.

Uzuri could feel herself being lifted up; though she was happy for the much needed oxygen, she didn't want to be found. Not yet, at least.
As her body was hung above the water, Uzuri stuck out a small pink tongue at Janja, and crossed her paws sourly.

Janja chuckled in amusement. around the scruff in her mouth. She looked up, not dropping the pup yet. The sun was already past the halfpoint in the sky and was a bit past it. In a few hours it would go down. Janja made the descision to walk back toward the shallows of the shore.
Once she reached the bank, she set the pup down.

Uzuri sprawled her paws out as she was lowered, and ran around in a small circle before huddling in one spot. She raised her brow and squinted her eyes at Janja, puckering out her lips. "What are we gonna do now?" she whined the words out.

"Well, are you hungry? We could go on our first hunt together. Catch something large. If your not hungry, we can thrill run," A predatory gleam shone in her eyes. Janja loved running and hunting. There was just something about it that made her feel free. The stress and tension would just leave her form and she would just bolt for it. It was... Amazing.

Uzuri put a small paw over her stomach as it churned; she had fallen back into her habit of not eating as much as she should. "Maybe I can show you how to hunt." she smirked up at Janja, comparing their experience with hunting. Although Janja had her up on big game, Uzuri had been hunting for a very long time.

"I've been hunting since before you were born, Youngin. I think I probably can show you some tricks to hunting." She gave the pup and wink and pulled up. "But, if you're so wise, what do we hunt? What can we both take on? You take the lead in this one..." Janja gave a grin. She was thinking. Impala sounded good at the moment. She wondered if they could take an adult one together. The calves were filling alone, but Uzuri was a growing girl, more so than she was herself.
The elder dog's throughts trailed to how she found Uzuri, starving and alone. Janja had her fair share on hungry days herself, but she didn't want any other pup to suffer that way. Hungry and hate mixed well was volitale and nothing good could come from it. She hoped her young one was okay. Emotionally okay. It was hard seeing the young pup so... sad and tired. She couldn't explain it, though she couldn't connect to the pup on some level. She would have to ask, later, what the pup hand been through. To further the healing process of the youngin.

Uzuri poked out her bottom lip in thought. She slid her eyes over slyly, smirking slightly. "We can go get some wildabeasts!" her eyes were wide, thinking of an epic take down of the beast, and the massive feast that would come afterward. "But the question is," Uzuri elegantly rose to her feet and walked a few steps, "can you keep up, old lady?" she bolted out into the grass, filling her lungs with the sweet air, trying to keep out of Janja's reach. Her energy seemed eldless, and Uzuri hoped that it wouldn't run out before they reached their prey.

Janja bounded after her youngin silently. She was still deep in thought, but she quickly snapped out of it as Uzuri got farther out of reach. She took a long stride, letting her whoel body only touch the air around her. Air was pulled in, tasting of prey and the moisture. It was delicious. With another long stride, she started to gain on the pup. Soon, she was close enough to shout. "Might consider growing longer legs, pup!" She said and took another long stride. It was exhilirating. She could feel her muscles contract and loosen under her skin. It was freeing.

Uzuri glanced back when she heard Janja yell; her eyes widened as she saw the distance between them close. She quickly scurried to gain more ground, but she stopped abruptly when a certain scent filled her nostrils. She had come across it before, which is why she suggested that they hunt wildabeast. Uzu slammed her body against the ground, slinking through the tall grass to find a view so she could see where the scent was coming from. A small mound of brush provided the perfect cover, and her eyes widened as she saw a massive herde of wildabeast, about fifty meters away. "You pick." she turned back to Janja, keeping her tone at an almost inaudible level.

Janja stopped, spotting the heard as well. She crouched low, next to Uzuri. She heard the whisper, her ears picking up the silent request. Janja's eyes started to dart around the herd. She was mentally weeding out the sick, the weak and the calves.
Spotted!
A wildebeast with a lame leg. It kept one of it's legs up and it drank from the pool before it, and it was fairly close to where the two dogs were. "There..." Janja whispered to Uzuri. "What's the plan...?"

Uzuri moved her eyes to where the lame beast was; Janja had spotted a good target for her. She briefly contemplated as to what action to take, taking into account the water where it was drinking.
An idea popped into her head; though she couldn't say that it was the best idea, she just had to give it ago. "I'll circle around the back." Uzuri whispered out, searching for continuous cover. "Stay here, and single it out." trotting off through the thick brush, Uzuri made her way around to the rear of the herde, careful not to be seen. She chose this plan due to her unnatural colorings; she couldn't hide in the brush waiting as a whole herde rushed by around you.
Reaching the back of the herde, Uzuri spied a massive male wildabeast; it must be the leader. Slinking up behind it, she leaned her head out and chomped down on the end of its tail. She ducked quickly, trying to avoid the beast's kick, but was slightly grazed on the tip of her nose. There. Her part was done with. Now she just had to rely on Janja's hunting prowess.

The herd was moving before Janja was. She dashed out of her hiding place and reared up as the beast - her target - started to Run forward slowly. It didn't get far because it's lame leg and Janja's swift movements. She snarled at the beast and jumped. She snapped at the beasts legs as it ran in panic away from the herd instead of staying with it. The beast was still rather fast with a lame leg, but not nearly fast enough.
Janja wasn't aware of the heard rushing away. She hesitated to look where Uzuri was. The young pup would be in on this too. She rounded the beast off from going in the direction its herd was going by snapping at it's feet once again, listened for Uzuri's movements as the rest of the herd rushed away.

Although still recovering from her small injury, Uzuri saw Janja at work, and she slowly came towards the beast from behind. Thinking quickly, Uzuri jumped up and hurled herself at the beast's rear at a slant, knocking its back legs down. Her small body made it so she couldn't knock the beast down all the way; that was something she had to rely on Janja to do.
