Around the world

Admittedly, Ignatius rather liked to see the younger woman's features brighten. She'd seemed nervous or scared before and it was nice to be able to put her at ease. He wasn't gonna say that but the fact remained. "Ha, well I'm glad no one was traumatized or permanently wounded?" Really that statement spoke for itself, more than anything he could add. Sometimes encounters with Seph could be... rough. He shuddered to think of some of the times where he'd run into those who'd had less than stellar interactions with the wild woman. Suffice to say it was sometimes better to not be related to her.

Lyrae's excitement only increased at his offer. Pleased, Ignatius didn't hesitate to begin leading the way. He'd seek out a better area for hunting, to start with. "Well, I wouldn't say I'm especially great at hunting, but I'm pretty sure between the two of us we can catch something," he replied with a shrug. Even if he wasn't terribly skilled, Ignatius had learned early on that to be successful you had to be tenacious. That, and a good strategy usually made all the difference.

He began by heading back along the outskirts of the hilly area's surrounding the volcano, searching for a good spot and keeping his nose to the wind. After a bit he was positive he could faintly smell some Pika nearby. Whether or not they'd be easy prey was yet to be determined, but surely there'd be enough of them that they'd have success eventually.
