Welcome to Gaia! ::

"I think I'll let you distract it this time. In my experiance, its more likely to bolt when it sees a larger creature. Since your still small, it would be best for now. I'll go around." He said, still keeping his eyes on the hog. "Just wait for my signal..."

Hasani slipped into the grass to his left, disapearing from view. It had been a while since he had been able to hunt with someone other then just himself. Though he did find that at times, being only one can be a fullfilling state, it was always, Always, easier to hunt with another.

Silently, Hasani placed himself neatly into position behind the preybeast, still hidden by the grass. He lifted his tail up above the grass line, high enough for his partner to see, and flicked as the cue. When the hog would back up, he would strike.

The Hog saw her with much surprise. It backed up a bit, since she was still of formidable size to such a bull. Hasani creeped up more in the grass, staying as silent as posible as he kept eyes on the beast. A little bit more, just a little bit more, he thought. The hog did just that, stepping another step back as Kina came closer. But the hog's ears twitched, hearing Hasani, he hesitated to take a look back though, since there already was a beast infront of him.

A low gurgling murmer started in his throat, then grew to a roar as he pounced from the grasses. The hog became startled, but had no time to move away as the giant beast that was Hasani came down upon his back, claws drawn and clentched into the hogs hide.

The hog, confused and over borne with the weight of Hasani, colapsed after trying to flee, draging them both a few feet. Jaws met neck, and the hog went silent after a breif struggle.

He nodded to her, liking his own lips. "Thank you, uhh, Kina." The kill had been quite easy. In fact, it had been very easy with her as a distraction. Otherwise, the beast would have noticed where he was an fled. Then he would have had to run after it more.

Hasani dragged the beast back into the grasses, though, to hide him a bit more from any others that might want a bite of their kill. After he sey it down, he sat himself by the kill.

"Yeah, come on over here and get a good bite." he said, offering her the first bite out of curtisy. He had never been in a pride, so the custom of the males getting their fill first was unknown to him. He just figured the lady should eats first. Common curtusy, he suposed.

Hasani watched her with particular intrest in the way she didn't hesitate. That was slightly refreshing. Most girls would fuss, refusing the offer at first, but after some coaxing, would gladdly take the first bite. It was different, and Hasani as a bit thankful for a change of pace anyhow.

"Ahhh. Your pride is one that does name quests, I forgot about that." He said after a moment.

He had travled many miles in his days, and many creatures he has met. Most tell of their homes, or lack there of, and their customs. Somewhere along the course of his life, he had met someone who lived in or near the Swamps, and informed him of some of their customs. Its always good to know about the world around ones self, in the case that one might meet someone unlike themselves. The random information that he had aquired sometimes became usefull.

Shifting his teal eyes to the meal, he took a hearty bite from the meat and started to eat, his tummy becoming urging for the blood-soaked flesh.

The Male was in mid bite when she asked the question. He tried not to show such surprise for the younger Female's forwardness. So, he continued with his bite and chewed it slowly before swallowing.

Traveling with the Swamplander? It could be good for him, if not entertaining. Afterall, she was a nice young girl, and he did feel more comfortable traveling with someone.. more like his own mind, as Najila had said not to long ago. He was still so much like a child. And she was still a child, in a way, aswell. She wasn't that hard to look at, either. Lovely and clean, and those eyes of hers, though at times making him a bit uneasy, were quiet an apealing shade or red.

He decided it would be good for him, if not for her also. He could provide her with some protection, and food. And her provide him company and just someone to talk to, which he often lacked in his travels.

Finaly, Hasani nodded. "It would be my pleasure to accompany you on your journey." And with that, his mouth was back to the kill, which he chewed contently.

Hasani took only a few more bites, swallowed his fill, and then watched his new traveling companion drift with sleepyness. He watched her for a bit. Poor thing, he thought back, remembering his own first days of lone traveling. Its a hard life, traveling like that. Maybe it was fate that brought the ruby-eyed female to him. At least, he wouldn't have to travel alone anymore, or with a female who didn't seem to understand him at all.

Hearing a rustling in the brush near by, Hasani was pulled back into reality, and his attention drawn away from Kina. What was that? Must be some pest come to investigate their kill. Well, they were done with it, in any case. It was time to move on, less some other larger beast comes to take care of them and their meal.

He stood, and walked over to her, nudging her with his muzzle. "Kina... Kina, wake up. No time to sleep. Lets move away from the kill. I don't want to get bonbarded by another hunger beast." Hasani said in his quiet tone.
