Skill Claim for Mila: Tracked and killed any small prey animal

Mila took a deep breath, the crisp scent of the forest filling her nostrils as she stood in the clearing, the dappled sunlight casting a warm glow on her fur. Rested and rejuvenated from her recent travels, she was ready to embrace the new day and explore the intricacies of her surroundings. Ensuring she stayed within the range of where she was told to, Mila would be very careful not to wander too far either. She understood the importance of maintaining a connection with the company she had found herself with, especially when an agreement was made. Today, however, she felt a gentle tug of excitement, a desire to utilize one of her skills and perhaps share the experience with her new friend. "You around, Laney?" Mila's voice rang out, carrying a cheerful and inviting tone. Her tail wagged lightly behind her as she surveyed the area, her keen eyes scanning the surroundings for any sign of Delaeni, the wild dog she had sensed nearby.

Delaeni, with her lithe frame and agile movements, glided through the towering redwoods. Her paws barely made a sound as she expertly navigated the dimly lit forest floor, the rustle of leaves beneath her adding to the tranquil atmosphere. As she moved deeper into the redwood forest, the colossal trees enveloped her in their ancient embrace. The dense canopy above blocked out most of the sunlight, casting the forest floor in a gentle, dappled darkness. Delaeni felt a sense of tranquility as she padded along, her keen senses attuned to every nuance of the environment.

The towering trunks of the redwoods created a natural maze, and Delaeni navigated through the shadows with grace, her slender form slipping between the massive tree roots and clusters of undergrowth. The forest floor, covered in a carpet of fallen leaves and moss, muffled her footsteps, allowing her to move stealthily. The occasional beam of sunlight peeking through the thick canopy painted spots of brightness on the moss-covered ground. The scent of earth and ancient redwoods engulfed her, immersing her in the serene and majestic beauty of the forest.

Though as she was exploring, the sudden sound of Mila's cheerful voice reached Delaeni's attention, causing her ears to perk up in interest. She emerged from behind a towering tree trunk, her teal eyes sparkling with warmth as she spotted her friend standing in the clearing. A soft, contented smile curved her lips as she padded gracefully over to Mila, her tail swishing excitedly at the sight of her beloved companion. The atmosphere around them seemed to radiate with an inviting energy, drawing Delaeni closer and filling her with a sense of comfort and happiness.

"Hey, Mila." Delaeni greeted with timid enthusiasm. "How are you doing today? What's on your mind?" She inquired lightly while allowing her gaze to wander. She couldn't help but appreciate the quiet intimacy of the forest, finding solace in its embrace.

Her eyes lit up with joy as she watched Delaeni emerge from the shadows of the towering trees, her heart feeling a tad lighter at the sight of her friend. With a warm smile spreading across her face, Mila trotted closer, her tail wagging more noticeably now, a silent testament to her happiness. "Hey, Laney!" Mila's voice echoed her delight, the sunlight dappling her fur as if to highlight her excitement. "I'm doing really well, especially now that you're here," she replied, her tone earnest and filled with a genuine sense of comfort at their reunion. "How about you?" she would return the question to her friend, hoping Laney was also doing well.

She took a moment to glance around the lush forest that enveloped them, its tranquility a perfect backdrop for what she had in mind. "You know, I was just thinking… How about we go for a little hunt?" Mila suggested, her eyes sparkling with a mixture of hunger and anticipation. "Nothing too big, just some small prey to satisfy a bit of hunger. Maybe we can also bring some food back for Azoula," she added, her stomach giving a soft rumble to punctuate her point. However, she was also mindful of Delaeni's preferences and well-being, so for a brief moment she paused, her gaze softening. "But only if you're up for it, of course."
