Hunting the Hunter

The boy released her leg and settled a bit. He was still aggravated, but at least he was speaking now rather than acting irrationally. He exploded into speech, talking about pushing his brother to teach him to fly. He spoke of trying to kill her and of the fact that he was emulating his father. He imagined that she might do the same. Black ears flicked forward and the woman stared down at the boy with her lone, sulfur eye. After a moment of contemplation, she released a sigh and allowed her forelegs to slide outward, depositing her on her stomach so that she was closer to his level.

"You are not my child." Her tones were eternal growls due to her damaged throat, but she tried to make them softer so that they could get somewhere without the, obviously sensitive boy, feeling attacked. "Despite that, I still want you to grow up strong and smart." Despite their heavy conversation, a little bee came and landed on the tip of the woman's nose, which she wrinkled, flashing teeth, but didn't make a move to brush it away. Eventually the little fuzzy creature left on its own. "Everything in life is a lesson. You should learn from every situation. In pushing Mort, you learned that he can't fly. In me holding you over the edge of the cliff, you learned that fear as well. The strike was to make you feel the pain that he felt when he hit the ground. You both learned that day."

With one scarred paw, she patted the ground before her, offering the child a seat so that they could continue their very first discussion. "You need to think more before you act. Think of the consequences. Think of the results of your actions. You want to rule some day? Take over your fathers place as Warlord of the pack? You'll need to be able to see everything that's coming before it even has a chance to howl at your borders." She wanted Azure to succeed. She truly wanted him to do well. The rest of his siblings as well, but she genuinely liked the boys fire. With some fine tuning, he would grow up to be a fine, powerful wolf. One capable of leading and protecting. "Lessons won't always be received positively, but as long as you learn from them, the anger and irritation are acceptable to me."

Now that the negatives were out of the way... "You did well with the cat. You and your sister hunt well together as a team." The dead pig showed that much. "Your skill with snares is decent, but could use some work with making them stronger and less obvious." He wanted his compliments, he got them. "Should we take the pig back to the pack? Do you want to claim your prize and skin the cat?" If he wished, their interaction could end here. Or, she could teach him further.
