We're goin on a rhino hunt

Kotori had jogged along easily for the trek, more so because he didn’t have to pull a cart.  Pulling carts was something meant for lower-class wolves, not a prince.  Kotori also wasn’t one for listening to others on what to do unless such wolves were above him in status.  It grated on him but if he wanted a chance to hunt some seriously large game he had no choice but to deal with it this time around.  

Kotori gave a simple nod of his head when informed he’d be doing the herding.  How this other wolf decided who was faster he wasn’t sure of but it also didn’t matter too much.  Kotori had decent speed and was likely faster than those who just had to pull the carts all the way here.  Did he really think he knew who was fastest or just trying to look good?  Whatever, guess, or knowledge it didn’t even matter.

Kotori had never seen these creatures before and wondered when Takeshi had been here before to know them by sight and or smell.  Kotori had spent a bit of time in Auster exploring and it surprised him that he’d never spotted creatures that should have been so obvious.  Somehow the giants had hidden or just been in a different location when he had passed by.  Still, there they were.

There was no doubt in Kotori’s mind that ‘herding’ would indeed be a short thing before they all tried to take down those massive beasts.  He could already tell hunting as a large pack would be hard as it meant teamwork.  Kotori had a rather independent streak in him.
