The fae had been gently bouncing on her heels, humming a quiet tune to herself while her eyes took in all the new faces. Slender ears pull forward and Arianwen turns to smile at an unknown girl. What she has to say brings a mild look of shock; which is quickly chased off by amusement. Oh? Well thank you! Ari chirped.
A delicate paw then rises to touch the pad of one toe to her own face. She removes a bit of her "paint" and then extends to place a couple of dots on the girl's cheeks. And I think that you are absolutely beautiful. The summer fairy purrs warmly as she sits back to enjoy her handiwork.

As dawn's tendrils caressed the thicket, a young lioness, her form shrouded in the misty embrace of morning, gathered with her companions. The thicket spoke in riddles to their spirits, a whispered symphony of rustling leaves and murmuring shadows. Their movements, a silent dance, followed the cryptic cadence of the wilderness.

The air hummed with anticipatory energy, and amidst it, the lioness offered silent prayers for luck before moving to join her sister's side with a blessing:

"By ancient wisdom and nature's grace, may your aim be true and your quarry embrace its fate."

In unison, they melded into the thicket's mystical heart, becoming one with its enigmatic tapestry. As they embarked on their quest, they understood it was more than a mere hunt; it was a communion with the arcane forces that bound them to this ancient, cryptic realm, a delicate balance between predator and prey in the dappled light of dawn.

He was becoming accustomed to the ways of that land; it seemed that large gatherings of odd lions were not uncommon when trying to take down a shared prize. He did not think the cats of his homeland were quite so generous – at least not with their women, that much was made clear to him.

Jethro stalked forward at the first signs of them, his adrenaline already pumping at the notion of an opportunity for shared training. He smiled softly to himself as he took cover within the gnarls of that thicket, trying to steer clear of the more precarious roots given his massive size. When the time was right, he would surge on to help act as the strength of the group with heaving lungs and panting snaps of his teeth.

A zebra is seen wending its way through the thicket, its recognizable stripes half-glimpsed through the dense vegetation. It pauses and continues, seemingly unearthing grass and roots, completely oblivious to the peril it's in.

He bears down on the creature without delay, bridging the gap between him and the animal in steady and focused strides. He launches himself at its shoulder, well away from its hind legs as they flail and twist in the air. Despite its efforts, it is no match for the sizable group of lions.

He has his fill and then returns to his prize, continuing to seperate the flowers and leaves from the bush. Once satisfied, he scoops the herbs between his jaws and saunters off back along the length of the thicket.

Through the gossamer shrouds of greenery, she spotted the zebra. It's stripes sparkling and flashing in a tantalizing display. The golden girl lowered herself to the earth, letting the grass gently pull at her soft hairs. For a moment, time seemed to standstill. The time between the before and during of the hunt. Before the bursts for force and energy, before claws dug into earth and into flesh. Before the chase. And then, there was the hunt. Lune kept up with the best of them - launching and grasping and darting, she pulled her weight. They brought down the zebra and Lune enjoyed her portion of the feast. The girl did not linger after eating, no she had herbs to collect.

Exit Lune.

The zebra had been easy to spot and keep track of, despite the dense foliage or perhaps because of it, monochrome stripes stood out against a uniform green background.
Ianthe's own monochrome paws are stained green and red, she'd gotten a good, bloody swipe along the zebra's torso, but had also slipped on the moss more than once in her pursuit.
The clumsy hunter takes her share of the kill, zebra having always been a particular favorite of hers, but doesn't linger long. There's still more ashanti peppers to be collected, and with a final swipe of her tongue across her mouth, she goes off to finish gathering them.

Keeping herself low, Seifrienriosa attempts to keep herself undetected and hidden as she peers among the large gathering of lions. She can't help but to study the landscape around her, as well, making notes of certain things she noticed among the others. Shifting her weight, she ensures her scent is kept hidden by rubbing her sides among some of the brush besides her. Once everyone else begins to leaves and nothing else seems interesting, she makes her exit too, wondering why hunts even needed so many lions - or if everyone here had been more overkill than anything else, to her at least.

Arkyn continues to observe his surroundings, noting how many flowery bushes seemed to still be in bloom despite the weather. He would use this to his advantage, pushing himself against them once more to further help disguise his scent. He wasn't too fond of the floral smell, but if it meant he would go on undetected then he knew he could manage for the time being. Keeping himself low he watches as the zebra makes its way unknowingly toward the group, the hunt starting and heading rather quickly. Arkyn watches for a few moments more before he decides to leave, heading straight toward some water so that he could rinse off the smell and pollen.

exit Arkyn.

As Renfri trailed the hunters, she kept her pawsteps light and silent, picking her path carefully to avoid anything that would make any sounds that might give her away. She rubbed herself against the mossy trees, allowing the scent of the thicket to permeate her fur fully to erase any personal notes that might have lingered. Her stealthy maneuvers were successful, it would seem, as no one turned to where she hid. The hunters found their own success, but she doubted the single zebra would be enough to satisfy all those who had come to the hunt, and she would make her leave swiftly and carefully before anyone had a chance to notice her. -exit- +10 Remain undetected in a large thread (5+ characters) (sleuth) +5 Practice covering your scent (assassin) +5 Practice speed or stealth (assassin)
