It were as traditional a hunt as it could get; the bare instinct of lions chasing zebra across the savanna. Radahn was easily able to keep up with the less experienced hunters, with those with more mettle racing past them, herding the zebra away with expertise. Though he'd little interest in ever reaching their same skills, he was impressed by them regardless, quietly praying to the Gods had given them the capabilities they'd had to fell the beasts with relative ease, that their luck continued well beyond just this hunt (and though Radahn would never admit it, he furthered his prayers for blessings, to cleanse any bad premonitions). He'd escaped further injury by the time the zebra was brought down, and had helped to deliver the killing blow; this, at least, justified a little snack.

They could have had the whole herd if they'd wanted, but there was a lack of coordination, of control. Without a clear leader and with far too many opposing opinions present, it had been easier in the end just to go after one zebra; it would not nearly be enough to feed them all, but it would prevent a fight from breaking out, he supposed. They'd also provided a swift and fleeting opponent, allowing him to utilize his strength and speed and endurance to keep the pace with it. At the very least, he would be long gone before one ever did. He spared a fleeting glance toward @Lune, a small, cunning grin unfurling upon his lips; and then he departed, idly waiting to see if she followed him or found her own path.

The girl was not lingering on the outskirts of the hunting party for long before she saw @Xavier approaching. She felt a lighting bolt of excitement as he made his way towards here. There was not much time to talk for Lune soon found herself caught up in the commotion of the hunt. With no distinct direction, the girl moved with the hunting party, covering herself in the dirt and muck of the earth as she rang - further losing her smell. After what seemed to be ages of endless running and seeking, jumping and tearing, they finally brought down a zebra. Slightly disappointed, Lune took her meager pittance, knowing better than to look a gift zebra in the mouth. Her eyes looked for Xavier. Panic pinched her throat when she didn't seem him. She wasn't held in suspense for long, for she finally laid eyes on the massive man. Lune left her spot, feeling her body pulled in by his magnetic field. Where he went, she would follow.

Exit Lune.

There was the tiniest little flinch at the arrival of @Khal nearby the two sisters and the second she saw it was him, Ana relaxed. Giving an embarrassed hum of a smile before looking at @Eisa and wondering what she made of the observation she had pointed out to her. Sniffing again to double check, she knew that the scent of the bastard bad guy was no longer apparent on the Plains lion. It was still a male scent but not quite like the bad mans. By her observation alone and highly selective and objective one, the new Plains' leader smelled a hell of a lot nicer. At least, for now he did. Who knows what he was like... hopefully not the same tyrannical hellion.

Thankfully the hunt was on and a zebra was downed, but even if there were plenty of Illyria and allies present, Ana made no effort to go to the zebra once it was deceased. Instead she quietly bowed her head to thank Maua and Vellen in the most non-spiritual way so as not to attract attention before beginning to remove herself from the situation. Doing what she could to stick around long enough for her sister or even Khal for her to walk with. Safety and all that. exit ana

He greeted @Yavanna with a playful shove back, not that she went far exactly since she was now larger than him, as several of his younger siblings had grown to be. He was fine with that, though, ever content to bask in their shadows until he was required. Even in the muddy rain, the large group managed to fell something at least, but it wasn't going to be worth splitting it so many ways, so Khal who had really only been here for the exercise, elected to instead wade into the watering hole itself to wash the splattered mud from his hide as he watched his younger kin departing with a nod of acknowledgement that they were all right. He noted how deep the pond had gotten with the rains and wondered if it might spill out into its little streams and rivulets soon. exit khal

The group is off- a large mass moving forwards, surging with hunger. Thisbe keeps to her side, avoiding eye contact and focusing on the tracks before her and signs of animal. Of food. She, with the group, tracks their intended kill. Racing forwards, speed increasing until- it's all over.

Thisbe grabs a mouthful, daring not to hang around longer to meet anyone and potentially run into trouble here. The blood is sticky on her ruby lips. She quickly washes it away with her tongue and then, after a quick roll in the nearby dirt to cover her scent, she is gone.

As expected, it doesn't take long for prey to show up. The watering hole is teeming with life, most of them herbivores. The zebra ambles along, most likely in search of fresh vegetation. One by one, lions begin to converge on the unlucky creature, and Viggo follows, honing in on their striped quarry before it can even cry out.

He sets upon the horrified animal, claws digging into its rear in a bid to slow it down. It doesn't stand a chance against their numbers, and it lies dead within minutes. Viggo wrenches off a hind leg for himself and sharpens his claws on a tree in preparation for the way back. Once he's satisfied, he hares off with his grotesque prize, resuming his exercise as he makes his way back across the watering hole.

yavanna is NOT currently wearing her bear pelt.
she is only wearing the tooth bracelet on her right paw and the feathers tangled in her thick fur.

The theatrics of the hunt go without a true climax, the duties done to acquire the means to fill their bellies. Yavanna snorts as Khal returns her shoulder bump even as she watches him slip into the water to clean himself. Maybe it's because she doesn't pay much attention or because it's helpful to her to have mud on her colorless coat, but she doesn't feel the same need to remove it. Instead, she watches how deep he can submerge in the water and peers off slightly in thought wondering if flooding will happen in the lay lands of the connected water ways before the winter freezes the water entirely. Giving Khal one more glance, she takes her leave.

As her claws scraped idly through stony soil, pricking at the pointed edges of her talons, Birdie lion-watched - absorbing the odd uniqueness of so many present. Soon enough the hunt ensues and Birdie found herself able to indulge in her favorite meal - Zebra. There was something wildly intoxicating about their beauty, and the variety of their flesh; from firm haunches to more tender belly.

Today, she opts for the tender route, and slips in alongside a dominant male - meeting him with a mischievous smirk but less daunting body-language. Many adults tolerated yearlings more readily than grown lions, and she milked the opportunity with gusto.

She continued to track around the watering hole. As she used her nose to find the end of the trail, her eyes and ears remained forward and alert, still scouting the area out.
Once she arrived closer, Lilliana locked onto @Aelynthi. Aha! So she had been correct. Lilliana bound forward, colliding into the larger woman with a purr just as @Alexander ♔ also appeared. Now the little herbalist definitely didn't feel as shy or uneasy about being in a sea of unfamiliar faces.
She readied herself for the hunt to commence, heart pounding as the group descended upon some zebra. With so many claws and teeth, the striped beasts stood hardly a chance.
Lilli took from the corpses what she wanted and then headed back home.
