Hunt concluded, her belly is quickly full again. Fortune favored them today, there was food and there was enough of it to go around. She's not going to stick around however and see who wants to share or not... Thisbe slips away from the group and meal, dark slightly sticky blood tracing her features.

A few more herbs to gather up before she heads out of here and today will be especially fortunate for her. This place seemed plentiful in all things, even as she gathered she kept finding more and more, different herbs and essentials. Like a dragon she lays greedy claim until she can carry no more. But back she certainly will be. Thisbe exits._{CODE | ART}

She is glad to have a meal, something fresh and warm. Dio takes a bit for herself adn then quickly moves in, attempting to gather up just a bit more to take back home. THank you for your sacrifice for my family. She says breathy, tired from running, and quietly takes a moment to study the animal's fallen shape, its eyes lifeless and dead. On a whim she reaches in with a paw to pop one out and take it with her a few feet away to bury into the ground as pseudo memorial for it. A fate befitting the fallen in the sacred act of the hunt. And then, it is off to home.

IANTHE

The sounds and sights of violence felt somehow incompatible with the natural serenity of the falls. It was just a hunt, but Ianthe still felt like she had committed some kind of sin on sacred grounds.
She sends a mental prayer of thanks to whichever God might have been listening, and dug into the meal.

Normally, with water so close by, Ianthe would try and bathe, but she felt it would be wrong to desecrate the pristine fall with something so base as blood. She would wait to get home, where the waters didn't exude a holy aura.
Ready to be clean as soon as physically possible, the princess grabs her bag of herbs from the pool's edge, and makes her way back down the peak.

Returning quickly with some Frankincense she plucked from nearby, APhid set about withdrawing some sap from it's thick stem - glancing across at the rocky path he had mentioned. "Oh you clutz!" she laughed heartily at his confession, mismatched gaze looking the area over with quiet marvel, "You know there's a grassy area over there too." Perhaps the clumsy likes of @Karsa would be better suited over there!

Obediently the boy held still, and Aphid brushed some of the moss from his wound before lacing it with Frankincense. "There you go. I'm Aphid by the way," and tossing her dark mane back behind her ear she would smile whole-heartedly in conclusion.

The group fell a single Oryx, and Aphid allows them to take their fill. She had been hunting enough lately that she wasn't hungry.

The sudden sound of hooves scrapping on stone stopped the boy in his tracks. With cupped ears, he listened closely and sniffed the air. Soon, the scent of blood reached him — someone had made a successful hunt. His stomach growled quietly, but he turned away. He’d not blindly wander into a mass of hungry predators.

Zephyr refocused then, and resumed his task. Though the presence of blood was in the air, he nonetheless managed to follow the scent of the waterfall. It smelled like wet stone and moss, and as he navigated his surroundings, slowly making his way closer, it became stronger and stronger. Finally, the mist of its cascades sprinkled his face, and with the roar deafening in his ears, he knew he had found it.

Still, he roamed. His paws took him to the pool that collected at the bottom of the waterfall. The stones, he observed, were slippery there, so he was mindful as he began to follow the stream. It led him away from the waterfall and the nearby kill, until he eventually disappeared from view.

CODING • BACKGROUND

The hunt was a success, but the hunters only managed to tackle a single oryx. She wasn’t sure if prey like that would be enough to fully satisfy everyone that had participated, but she had come to learn and train. Valeria was always well fed in the Summit, and she was not concerned about getting her share of the spoils. When the hunt was done, she took a break near everyone else, lingering to rest and recover her energy after the excitement of the chase, but once she caught her breath again, she was ready to begin the long trek home.

he can see the oryx bursting through the brush, head craning as @Aphid works on his injury to watch the lions on the hunt. "i'm usually not this clutzy, i swear." karsa says, ears flicking back against his skull for a moment. "oh, maybe i should head over there for next time.. it's probably softer than all this rock." he murmurs, watching as the adults set upon the oryx. they are aiming for his haunches to make it stumble and then close their jaws around the animal's neck until the struggle in it completely fades out. with obsidian's hefty caches, karsa doesn't step forward to take any resources from the others. "thanks aphid. i'm karsa." he answers, blue eyes turning to where she had grabbed the herb. as she leaves the scene along with many of the others, he pauses at the patch of frankincense himself, grabbing some of the stalks in his jaw. if it was for cuts, karsa would take some of the useful herb home for his aunt to use on him later. with that, he starts off through the tree-mountain archway that distinctly marked the path he'd come through earlier.

It seemed as though her prayers had been answered after all. Just as quickly as they had all swarmed together to work as a union of bodies to slaughter, they are successful and without harm as the oryx lays wasted. A shame they had only managed to take down a singleton given the amount of folks gathered, but she's thankful to the Creator none the less for accepting her blessing and prayer openly. She murmurs a soft prayer of thanks aloud as she gathers a small chunk of food for her child -- the result of her blessing, undoubtedly. Even with her faith having wavered every so slightly after her birth, she still held true to her belief that Maua was always watching, and rewarded those most holy. She had seen it lately, with as many times as she'd cast blessings over these gatherings. Thankful indeed. With her chunk of meat in tow, the lioness makes her way back to the Hollows to feed her daughter.

The target that they all chased and sought after was an easy one; not exactly something that had the young girl jumping out of her seat but it at least would distract her. Nothing look a good show of lion watching for the day, either, leaving her to watch them all curiously after the hunt. There were those that greedy ate, those that watched carefully to see if there were any nice enough to share and those (like herself) that didn't bother. Instead turning on her feet and beginning her march elsewhere. The hunt had done its purpose and would feed the bellies of some for the day and leave others requiring something better. Dan wasn't sure what hers looked like yet but she was at least determined to find out. exit daneri

It was early morning, the sun just beginning to rise into the empty sky. She sat upon a large, flat rock near the waterfall, watching the sky lighten into pale blue before fading into an array of purples and pinks and oranges. She had to look away when the sun poked over tops of the mountains around her, the light too bright to look at too closely, but she was grateful for the slight warmth that came with dawn. The nights were absolutely frigid already, and though it was still quite chilly out, basking in the sun helped to keep her comfortable. There wouldn’t be much time for basking now, though, as the hunt was wrapped up quite quickly, and she was interested in investigating the waterfall a bit more. She carefully picked her way across the slippery, mossy stones as she wandered around the pool. It was definitely worth navigating the maze to get here, and she wanted to come back in winter, curious to see if the water would freeze when it snowed. She began to make her way out though, taking her time as she carefully weaved back through the passageways, a different path than she one she had first taken so she could scout more of the surrounding area on her way out.
