Welcome to Gaia! ::

It was fun having someone excited with him for once. Tytus definitely appreciated the company as they hiked through a rather isolated trail. If anything the laotoa should be here in this area. At least he hoped so. As they came to an area that broadened out into a small grassy plain Tytus motioned towards a huge, ancient looking tree. "We can hide in those branches after I set out some food and this net." Smirking the boy opened his bag and showed Koril the tightly woven net.

"I'm going to place it in the grass and attach a string to it. Once the creature steps on top to eat we pull and watch as it goes up into the air. From there we'll...let's just hope he calms down after a while and we can then try to go about taming it." He wasn't much of one for caging a creature so he just hoped that his personality would charm the creature over. It was far better than having to fight it.

Pulling out his supplies Tytus nodded to Koril, "Just take this net and begin to throw some grass and stuff over it to hide the obvious rope while I string up the rest. Okay?"

Tytus glanced over at Koril's work thoughtfully. The whole net was laying across the ground and even a few pebbles had been placed over edges to make it seem as if nothing was amiss. It seemed pretty solid to him so after one last check on the rope hanging from the branches. Then he sat up the food along the net and had his zanteer sit in the bushes. That was going to help as well if the creature did run away before the net came up. "We're good to go." He reached out a hand to the hybrid, "Need help climbing up? We need to get comfy since it'll be a wait."

Tytus chuckled at the optimism, "I suppose you haven't been animal hunting before then." The Oban leaned forward from his perch on the branch, "It all depends on luck really. Usually though I've got a rather numb behind by the time I get out of these situations." He teased lightly, "I have some snacks in my pouch here if you need. Eating helps pass the time and these fruit biscuits are pretty great to be honest."

Inna sniffed at her companion before rolling around as well. She had been doing this with Tytus before so the zanteer knew that a nap would probably be in order before anything exciting happened.

Tytus pursed his lips thoughtfully, "Well in a sense it can be." He teased with a grin, "Lots of waiting and then you have to pull it up at just the right time." The Oban wiggled into a better position on the tree limb as he waited, "You sure? Alright then." Popping a biscuit in his mouth the apprentice swallowed before nodding at Koril's next comment.

Yes, they had to be quiet indeed.

"Take a nap if you want. I'll shake you awake when the laotoa comes around." That stated Tytus put up his belongings on another limb and made himself comfortable, but flexible enough so that he could grab the rope at any moment.

Tytus rose an eyebrow in amusement, "We may have to go fishing together if you're even in Jatine then. Sounds like you have far more fun than me with it. My luck Inna would probably eat all of them before they got to me. I'd just get the tails with the way she eats." The Oban smirked. Perhaps he could use a few pointers from this guy. It would be fun to take Inna out to catch fish with him. Far more interesting than going to the market or waiting on the line to tug!

As the other boy settled into his seat Tytus nodded, "Will do." He replied with a laugh. Though as the minutes passed, which to Tytus felt like forever at times, there was a slight rustling in the grasses around the edge of their stake out, "Psst." Tytus barely nudged Koril and placed a finger to his lips, "I hear movement."

Soon enough a few whiskers would show and then the rest of the cat...a cream colored one with some golden spots in its fur and brilliant blue eyes...Tytus had to hold back on his excitement as he watched the creature edge around the net. They just had to wait and hope that things would work out.

Grinning with excitement Tytus nodded towards Koril before slowly, ever so slowly, inching further along the branch. All he had to do was tug the rope once the creature grabbed the food. It was slowly circling around the trap, wary as expected, but the appeal of the free meal was slowly getting to the loatoa. Tytus was amused as the feline stuck out a tentative paw towards the net before pulling back. Such a tease. He thought quietly to himself before the loatoa finally moved forward again.

Just a few more seconds and he could pull the rope...Tytus leaned forward itching with anticipation. He had this!

Tytus couldn't help grinning at Koril's own excitement. At least he wasn't alone in feeling so hyped over this! And then finally as Tytus glanced back towards the loatoa he decided that it was time to move. As the loatoa nosed its way to the food Tytus gave it a few moments to actually gain a few bites before his fingers curled around the rope. One, two, three, and go! Tugging with all of his strength Tytus watched as the net shot up from the ground. Dust and grass flew through the air while he had to wait with baited breath. Had it worked? Tytus leaned forward from his perch and let out a whooping laugh as he saw the loatoa, safe but stunned, instead of the net.

"Mission success! Now to move onto part two...getting it out of the net and not getting mauled." Joked Tytus before he began his descent down the tree. He wanted to get a good look at the furry creature first. Maybe if my perzi had some fur this could be its look... At the thought he glanced over at Koril, "What do you think? It's cute, right?"
