keep up and reach out

Aki sought Elias's gaze again, his grin widening - a playful, mischievous sort of expression. He was generally an open book, so long as you knew what questions to ask. They seemed to have a plan ahead of them.. after they ate, perhaps they could speak more freely. It was difficult to carry on a decent conversation when they were tracking prey and had to be wary about spooking them. A soft chuckle left his lips, his ears flicking lightly. "Then we are kindred souls, Elias Praetor," he quipped back lightly, amusement dancing on his weathered features.

He inhaled sharply as they paused on their trail, nostrils flaring as he tested the scent. It did smell a bit like a boar, he was familiar with those.. but distinctively different. Aki shrugged uncertainly. "Smells a bit like them," the brute agreed firmly. He hardly noticed that Elias had mentioned hunting with others. He had spent much time hunting in a group as a youth, but not so much these days, which was a shame. "But different. I say we do just that. Perhaps you could circle around the group and taunt one and send it running back to me." By that point, he hoped to surprise it - maybe by confusing it with two enemies, they could take it down easily, depending on its size. "Then I'll charge and send it back to you. If it's bigger than a boar, we'll just run for our lives." A wide grin appeared on his lips, another bit of laughter bubbling from his chest at the thought.
