It seems almost ridiculous to imagine that any leaf-chewing beast would bother to come a place like this, vast plains filled with little more than red dust and crumbling rocks. But a good huntress trusts her nose, and Viveka counts herself among no other than the best. If her prey truly desires to make the badlands its grave, then she will not bother to stand in its way.

Her claws rasp against packed earth and eroding stone, imperfections chipping away from their gleaming points as the she-wolf lopes impatiently across wide, empty space in pursuit of her quarry's scent, her muscles working up to a steady warmth where they flexed beneath her dark hide.

Alas, her approach is far from the stealthiest she's ever made, but it wasn't like they were that many places around here to hide anyway.

So a test of endurance it is, then.

She was starting to marvel at how every time she went out to gather herbs she wound up in the middle of a hunt in progress. Not that she blamed everyone for wanting to get one last good hunt in before ice and snow covered everything and made it more difficult. So she looked up from the herbs she'd been carefully collecting and laying out on a nearby rock to catch the distant rays of the sun. It was going to take longer for them to dry in the frigid air, she knew, so she did have the time to spare at least. She just hoped no one would steal what she had gathered while she left to join the hunt.

Heloise made her way over to the woman, preparing to join and hoping that others would come as well because otherwise they were going to have a hell of a time.

The chill in the air seems to stifle the dry heat of the badlands - if only slightly. But it is enough to get Sabre out in the desert areas and to use the area around him for training. A quick jog is his pace as he goes back and forth between a red rock and a dying shrub, every now and then sprinting to one before turning around and jogging back to the other. While he is doing one of his turns his ears catch sound of another calling for any nearby to join them in a hunt, something he was happy to help in if it meant he was going to have a full belly once it was all said and done.

He begins to move in the direction the call had come from and not long would he find two lionesses. He gives them each a nod of greeting before his attention settles upon the hippo. "It'll take a couple more of us to bring this thing down," he comments in a low tone, ear flicking as his body crouches. Even with his colossal size Sabre knew they would need more bodies to help take the thing down.

It's a bit nippy today, isn't it? Even the arid dullness of the sun-scorched lands does not seem quite as overbearing as the stormy Sigrun would have expected. Alas, the ability to frolic about the wastes without suddenly keeling over from heatstroke does not make the emptiness any less boring. Jóhanna may well have turned herself right back around before too long, had the call for a hunt not managed to spice things up. She's had too few chances to get her paws dirty with the blood of worthwhile prey.

A quick but thorough roll in the dust and dirt seems to be enough to conceal the scent of salt and sea from her brindled pelt, masking it beneath the dry fragrance of the desert itself. It doesn't change the fact that her steel coloring sticks out a bit amidst the reds and browns that surrounded her, but Jóhanna finds that her delicate skulking through the shadows cast by the scattered rock formations allows her to approach the gathering hunting party quietly enough. "Ask and you shall receive." She purrs with cheeky confidence as she settled herself in @Sabre's shadow, mismatched gaze turning to properly inspect their prey.

If anything here truly stuck out like a sore thumb, it would be the hippo that was waddling through a desert.

AND WHAT DO WE SAY TO THE GOD OF DEATH?
not today

Draugr expected to find very little action in the surrounding desert. He ambled slowly, taking in all that he could in these new lands. Even for winter, it was still dreadfully hot in the daytime here, and he cursed himself for wandering out beneath the sun with his thick and dark coat. There were very few plants he could rub on for scent - unless, of course, he wanted to come out of it looking like a porcupine. Even his thick coat would not save him from the cacti's painful embrace. He found a few dry-looking plants and tried to rub on them, finding that he just rubbed all of their leaves off and came away not... smelling too much different.

The distant sound of an inviting chuff made his pause in his step, however, and he switched his meandering to trotting toward the summoner. When he'd arrive, he'd find a small party gathered around a plump hippo calf in the distance. Hm, he rasped beneath his breath as he approached, stopping just short of the gathering. "We could chase it until it's lethargic and then let the big guy," Draugr strategized, nodding to @Sabre , "take it down." Draugr was another "big guy", but with how much she preferred to slink in the shadows, he often forgot he was supposed to be one of the big, strong ones, too.

He lingered for but a moment, listening for other strategies or suggestions before he'd move towards their target. With the sun beaming down upon them, there was nowhere for him to hide, but he stalked after their prey anyway.

With another hunt popping up within the badlands as he was exercising around the bend, Chaeton curved his own pathway in an effort to assist these lions in their endeavour. There was the briefest slow down as he waited for some cue that he wasn't encroaching before he moved with fervour into the masses. Chaeton once again taking up his full speed and full strength, relying on all his exercises both prior to it and now as his muscles did their work. Exercising his body and later he could take note of what muscles were the most under developed so that he would know how to move forward. Today, though, he was focused on getting his body to its limits and securing a meal for those that were attempting to do so now by chasing this prey and easing its strength from its body so that it might take its last breath.

As usual she was delighted to stumble across a group of levels having their energy ripped out of their legs just for the chance at having a little snack. To Dani this was merely about the fun and excitement of getting together and showing her face to some not-so Lorien lions. Quick to scan the lions and get a feel for them upon her own first judgment before launching herself into the mess of legs and sand that was brought up upon their running. Daneri kicking a bit up herself as she swung herself consequentially toward the beast and trying to lay out some claw work on their prey in the attempt to at least make a singular hit to make the prey all the weaker.

He didn't usually come out this way, but he had this time and he could see in the distance what seemed to be a hunt going on. While he wasn't typically one for such a thing when it wasn't being run by someone within the pride, because he didn't like putting in that much effort, he also knew the weather wasn't helping their chances of finding prey and that everyone was burning more energy to stay warm. So they needed the extra food, to say the least.

Angelo told himself to suck it up and made himself join in the fray, determined to bring their quarry down and take the extra back to the pride. He wasn't sure if he'd have to argue with anyone present about it, but hopefully if anyone thought about getting aggressive they'd take a look at his size and think twice.

Eh. He wasn't exactly excited about this, but he also had Jeb and Santi on his case to 'Do more work, Silas.' Well, here he was, doing work. And what were they doing? Who knows? Probably nothin' while I'm out here, workin' my tail off.

With a huff, he continued through the land in which he'd been told to scout, though there wasn't much to actually scout that he could see. It was quite... barren. He was about to turn and make his way back, slowly so they would think he actually took his time in the area, when he heard some commotion behind him. He turned to see a hippo calf barreling straight towards him, followed by a large group of lions, intent on bringing the thing down.

"What we got here?" This was perfect—the hippo looked close to its last breath, so he could hop in here at the end, give minimal effort, and then take some meat back to the others to show them that he did do something. More than they can say, I bet.

An ear flickers as a feminine voice is heard, giving the yearling (@Jóhanna) a sideways glance and a grateful not. Another yearling comes, then (@Draugr), this one seemingly growing to be on the larger scale just like Sabre himself. He watches them with a curious gaze, listening to his suggestion and giving a nonchalant shrug whenever he is mentioned to take down their prey. "As long as I get to eat I don't care what position I'm in."

Sabre wastes little time once there was enough lions to begin the hunt. He pushes off of powerful hindlegs and heads straight toward the hippopotamus calf, clinching the distance between he and it with powerful strides. Once close enough he attempts to slash a paw with unsheathed claws at a limb, trying to injure it enough to make to topple over and allow for himself to give the killing blow.
