Hey there, fancy feet

Manea wasn't quite as surprised at Shuriken's name as she had been with Ikigai had told her hers, but it still amused her that their family bestowed such long, grand names to their children. "Kiyohime Shuriken Ōritsu Abraxas," she repeated back, tasting the words on her tongue with a grin, the name lending itself well to a lilting sort of tone as it flowed from one word to another. She gave a nod when Ike clarified that was her preferred name, adding, "Ike it is. As beautiful as your name is I do imagine a shorter version makes things far easier." She chuckled softly and rose to her paws again, giving herself a quick shake. "Are you much of a hunter, little deer?" she asked, bestowing an affectionate nickname on the girl. She waited for a confirmation of that fact before she grinned with a flash of teeth and nodded toward a stand of trees along the river. "Good. Lets go hunt something for you to take back to the pack with you."

Manea led the way toward the river, certain that they could find something to hunt together, but even before they made it to the trees she spotted a group of geese floating lazily on a stretch of the river that was more slow moving than the portions that were more like rapids. A few of them were milling about on the shore. She slowed her steps and watched them for a moment before glancing toward Ike with a smirk, nodding for her to follow as she gave the geese a wide berth so they wouldn't startle them too soon. She found them a good vantage point under a tree among some bushes where they could get fairly close without spooking the waterfowl. She waited till Ike was in place, looking toward her young hunting companion for a sign that they were ready to pounce.
