Avana Hodari

5 years // Lv.2 Pathfinder

At the sound of a hunt brewing, Avana wished she hadn't been so far away from Firnen when she heard the summons. By the time the strawberry lass had found the hunting party, a large group had already formed. She arrived just in time to hear the princess's instructions, easily categorizing herself among the sprinters while there were plenty of males to be the muscle. Ears flicked in hopes to catch the sounds of movement in the surrounding foliage, curious as to what they'd be hunting. The maned woman wasn't near enough whatever trail had sparked the interest of the king to successfully pick out a prey's scent against the multitude of lions present. She'd just have to take her cues from the others until able to find the prey with her own mismatched gaze.

Alvena grinned as Roan came and bumped her shoulder, pleased that she got to spend time with her family and be useful at the same time. It was nice. She was even starting to get good at this, or so she thought. Sure, that elephant they'd gone after had been nerve wracking, and she didn't want to do that again anytime soon, but they'd managed it hadn't they? Not necessarily through anything she'd done, but still.

At least their target this time was a more reasonable size, and she liked their odds of bringing it down. So she wasn't surprised when they managed it. Another day, another meal to add to the cache.

Once the target was made clear, the strawberry lass shot a smirk towards her brother, knowing his affinity for kudu horns. If no one took a horn after they brought down the prey, she'd fully expect him to add a new one to his collection.

Once things got underway, it all went rather quickly and swiftly. The Firnen lions were a well oiled machine, and kudu were hardly difficult after some of their tougher hunts. Just watch out for the hooves and horns, and one was golden. Avana aided in the chase until the creature could be cornered and brought down, likely worn out by the combined weights and efforts of the males. Once the prey had fallen, the pathfinder stepped back, out of the way. It was a rather large hunting party for just one kudu, so she'd opt to let those who were actually hungry take their fill while the meal was still fresh. Otherwise, she'd help take back whatever was left to the cache before wandering off for a bit of a bath.

It was truly awe-inspiring to be a part of a hunting party. In unison, they fanned outward, each poised to strike the unfortunate prey down. A kudu appeared from the foliage, throwing back its head as it spotted the approaching felines. The spiralling horns intrigued Dumah, who set out to recover one for himself later.

Swifter individuals brought the large antelope low. Dumah added his own weight to the flailing kudu, his jaws grasping at skin. Once its struggling subsided, the male let go and settled down to eat his fill. When his hunger had subsided, two tasks presented themselves. He would take a horn, and help to carry any leftover meat to their cache.

She was starting to get a bit old for this, she realized. Not enough that she was going to stop anytime soon, but enough that she realized it was more effort than it once had been. Just something for her to think about as she shared a meal with the rest of the hunting group. At least they had been successful, meaning there was a bit more food for the cache and the pride. Winter was going to be coming sooner rather than later, and the more they had before it hit the better off they would be. Though perhaps it wouldn't be so bad in this area, as the rainforest was generally warmer.

A singular kudu might not be the best object of interest but it would at least give them a week's worth of food. Any food was good food no matter how big or small; a constant reminder that they could very well have ended up with nothing at all. So as everyone takes what they desire and departs, Jafar helps in transporting what was left back to the caches. Not bothering too much to worry about getting blood on his rich, bronze backside for a bath wouldn't be too shameful. Happy as ever to put his size to labor as he clamored through the rainforest and buried their goodwork. exit jafar

The moment their target would become a kudu, Roan could feel his mouth salivate. He caught his sister's gaze, silently chuckling to himself at her expression before returning his sights on their prey. It was an old family favorite, both for the meat itself and for those delicious, curved horns. Certainly, he knew they would take the beast down with little fanfare, with Firnen being such a well oiled machine by now, so if a horn went unclaimed by the end of it all, the Hodari was keen to snatch it himself. Another trophy for his collection. More like another toy to chew on. He followed directions as ordered, and just as he had expected, the kudu was felled without trouble. The masked man watched with an amused expression as a male (Dumah) broke off one of the horns. The noble waited patiently, lingering while others fed, not wanting to be greedy and take a horn he had had over and over again should someone else had never tasted a kudu horn, but when the remaining horn went unclaimed, the Hodari would eventually slip in to break it off himself. Jafar didn't seem to need any help stashing away the rest of the meal, so Roan helped himself to a little chew session back in his den.

Success! Sedona slowed from her sprint, her jaws parted in a gaping, grinning pant. Whatever uncertainty she felt being tucked within the fold of her family was quelled for those sacred moments of the hunt. They were an effortless, unified force in taking down the kudu even amongst the thick greenery of their rainforest.

"Good work," she praised breathlessly as she stopped near the kill. It seemed Jafar was already keen on transporting the kill, and so she fell in behind him to follow slowly in case he needed assistance. Sedona could not even help the pointed smirk she shot Thrain. You're not the only one who's been training, she might have said.
