Kai was glad the heron hadn't been too startled by his exclamation - he was just excited to see a friendly face, but he didn't want to foolishly ruin their hunt before it had even started. The male watched as she listened and assessed his plan, turning to the water before looking back at him. He usually wasn't a big fan of eating birds - he liked prey who generally stayed on the ground most of the time, rather than ones with wings, but he'd make an exception for this strange creature.

He grinned a bit wider at her agreement, his tail wagging gleefully behind him.  "Now that's the spirit!" He whispered this time, doing his best to keep his voice down now that a hunt had been decided upon. Kai crouched down slightly, slipping back behind the pillar of volcanic rock as she made her way away from him and the bird and slipped into the water a good distance from them both. He was hardly aware of how cold the water might be at this time of year, but watched carefully as Rani made her move, circling in the water toward the back of the heron.. and when she got close enough, he watched her rear up and slap her front paws down in the water, which elicited a soft chuckle from him.

If the heron noticed him, it was more terrified of the sound behind it than anything it might be running toward. It made a weird sort of squawk as it rushed forward toward the beach, sneaking a glance behind it and realizing the danger that lay there. Kai lay in wait for a moment, crouched with his butt wiggling comically behind him as he waited to pounce. He waited impatiently for the bird to get a bit closer, and by the time it noticed him there it was too late. He kicked off with his long back legs and rushed toward the heron, which spun in a circle, trying to decide which way to go. The brief moment of hesitation gave him the opportunity to tackle the lanky creature, his jaws crushing its neck in one easy motion as he wrestled it to the ground, tail pinned triumphantly above his back.
