His hunting had improved, thank the gods, since he'd came to the Pridelands. When he was in his old pride he never really got a chance too because of his disability. His family thought it a bad idea to wander outside of the pride when he was deaf, because he wouldn't hear someone trying to sneak up on him. However, with Xai by his side, he could actually feel like a normal person and 'hear' things. Xai would tell him things and translate his movements for anyone who didn't know him or understand him. Which was everyone outside of the family.That's why his little female bird perched in his mane and was frantically looking about with him. They were trying to find some kind of food to snack on while waiting for the rest of the hunters to gather. He'd headed out early because he didn't want them slowing down their speech and getting frustrated at him because he couldn't understand what they meant. So, Wyconda and Xai had taken it upon themselves to do it by themselves.
It usually worked.
