Walking Tall

Ignis' salvo gained him a chuckle from Corbie, but she sobered to pay attention to the plan. As Ignis spoke, Ayer climbed down from her shoulder and wandered away to a safe distance. From experience, she knew Corbie would come back for her as soon as the hunt was over, and it was safer and easier for them both if Corbie wasn't trying to hunt with a kinkajou clinging to her neck. Corbie's job here was easy enough, so she set off with the others as they got into their hunting formation and quickly encircled the giraffe. They would need to keep it from running - something that long-legged could probably easily outdistance them. That wasn't her job, though, hers was to try to damage the giraffe from the side, and she was quick to begin. It was harder than she thought since she was so short compared to how tall the giraffe's belly was, but she took a running leap and managed to slice her fangs along the side before dropping down beneath it. Darting out she did it again, and again, hoping that the wounds would slow it down, or to disembowel it. She hated to use such barbaric methods, but there were not more humane ones to use in this case.
