The group was large and success all but guaranteed. There are plenty of kinds to account for the mistakes of others. And the unit is able to bring down some food. Dio is quick to grab a bit for herself, a meager mouthful to take back to her father. She'll find herself another bit of food later. This was for Caligula.

She follows along with @Kireena off to the side, panting a bit past the hunk of food she has claimed, and lays out beside the other woman for a quick rest until it was time to head home and deliver dinner.

Even a morsel is something to be thankful for in Rhaenys' opinion. She waits her turn with a grateful little smile playing across her face before taking her share. The lions around her seem to be doing the same, taking their own piece before skulking off to the lands from which they came. Fair enough. If Rhaenys had her own lands to meander back to, she would be following suit.

Instead, she can only take her allotted chunk and move to the side, laying down to people-watch whilst the others departed. It was a soothing ritual, really, and it wasn't long before Rhaenys had settled her head on her paws and began to softly snore, her hunger abated for the time being.

Lune briefly locked eyes with Kireena as the large offered her a nod of acknowledgement. The large hunting group would have been able to easily overwhelm prey by sheer size. Lune couldn't help but let a twinge of disappointment twist her tail as the honed in on a wild hog. A pretty good sized hog that would have provided more than a few bites for smaller group. Lune moved in tandem with the rest of the group, leaping, pulling and snapping until the prey was felled. The warm, soothing scent of fresh blood wafted deliciously from the beast. Patiently, the golden girl waited for her moment to feast and snagged a few bites of the hog. Warm and chewy, the meat rolled easily down her throat. She could feel the warmth radiating long after it had dropped in to her stomach. It was enough to fill her hunger for now, but she knew she'd be back on the trail later.

The voice of his sister gives him a momentary start, and he jerks his head around, stopping only to remain running in place. "Uh... hanging out with a bunch of mercenaries?" He tries, haphazardly, hoping it comes off as unrealistic as it sounds. Her own brother, running with a bunch of mercenaries? To @Anniston, there is probably scarcely anything more disgraceful. That familiar gleam of mischief comes into her eyes, and he smiles at that. "Sorry, can't right now. Gotta keep the momentum going here." Besides, he likes helping out. Maybe that makes him a sucker, but hey, he's been deemed worse. A sudden rustling in the thicket followed by the pounding of many running footfalls snaps him to attention, and he lurches into action. Air fills his heaving lungs as straining muscles work to catch up, the large group felling the cornered hog with ease. He sinks his teeth into the carcass and heaves, tearing off a leg, which flops from his jaws as he returns to his sister's side. "Eat together on the way back?"

Something comes crashing through the dense vegetation, large and lumbering. It seems to be foraging; blissfully unaware of the huge group of hunters waiting just beyond the thicket. One by one, lions break their cover, and he follows suit as they converge on the squealing target.

He is surprisingly fleet of foot for one his size, and once he closes the distance between him and the pig, he mercilessly digs unsheathed claws into its rear in a bid to slow it down, puncturing its thick skin. The hunters descend on the unlucky hog, and it doesn't take long before it goes still.

As he forces his way through the crowd and wrenches off a hind leg, he sees @Kian, accompanied by a hyacinthine girl. Whoever she is, they seem entirely too familiar, and he doesn't need twice the annoyance. He sharpens his claws across a proximate tree before making off with his prize, haring off into the nearby shrubbery, running until he's well out of range.

He sees moss growing on a tree and rubs up against it while he waits for the hunt to begin, further giving him an earthy smell. His eyes take note of the gnarled roots and stones that could cause for him to trip, making a mental note to watch where he steps in this hunt. Arkyn finally stops whenever the forest hog appears, and a snort leaves flared nostrils; not again with the small meal for a large hunting party. With a low growl does Arkyn begin to help, keeping the hog from escaping and taking his leave once it was taken down. Again, he was not going to fight over scraps from a small meal, and so again he leaves with a rumbling belly.

She watches as more continue to filter in, pink eyes glancing at their faces. Some of them looked familiar while others were completely unknown. Her eyes would stop momentarily as a maroon lioness (@Kireena) gives her a smile, one that she would return with her own. Her attention falls back onto the task at hand once the hog comes out, the huntress' ears flattening upon her skull. That would not feed them all, that was for sure. But she kicks into gear anyways, her agile form moving so that she kept their prey corralled. Once it was brought down, Leilani would make a quick move to sneak a small bite before heading off; she knew that was all she was going to be able to get with so many other mouths present.

She is feeling very nervous for this hunt, thinking of her previous failures. But with as many of them as there was, Tilly did her best to stay focused. Her small stature was well-suited to wriggling through thicket and fern and once the scent is caught, she does her best to leave behind her hesitations like fur tangled in thorns.

All the better for it, for lapsed of her worries Tilly finds herself enjoying the chase, the excitement of it all. She isn’t left frustrated and teary-eyed on churned sand, but with blood on her claws and a dead pig to fill their bellies.

With many mouths to feed, Tilly would take her share and creep away into the undergrowth to enjoy her little prize, running over what had gone right and what had gone wrong in this hunt.

through the brush, the hog is absolutely unaware of the mass of lions stalking it. despite its size, there's no way for it to avoid the sheer number of fangs and claws that manage to take it down. imogen feels useless, her small size hindering her alongside the larger lions. she manages a swipe at a hooved foot and before long, its no longer squealing. she peers around the carcass, dipping in to grab a mouthful of flank before hopping away. a thankful blink and wave of her tail is given to the party before she takes off to eat her snack in peace.

Weirdly enough, the orange leaves of autumn seemed to deter any glances his way as he saw the eyes of others turn towards him, but quickly look away as they were met with a barrage of yellow, orange, and red hues. His coat was dark, and he seemed to blend well behind their blinding glow. Good.

Even better was his hidden scent that made him blend well with his surroundings. He smelled pungeant and earthy, and such scents seemed to blend well with the thicket, even with the trees shedding their leaves and the plants shriveling up for winter.

When they began to hunt was when he kept his distance, but he followed along behind them. He kept low to the ground and behind his cover, so he remained unseen. Once he confirmed what they had caught, though, which was a singular Giant Forest Hog, he chose to depart. He guessed there would barely be enough food for them, let alone any scraps he could try and pick on later. It wasn't worth the effort or the wait. /exit
