training the new growth [Ashen Meeting]

Unbreakable Survivor

It seemed the youths she had decided to join didn’t care if she was with them if their non-responsiveness was any indication. Ciannait shrugged striped shoulders and took a seat next to them, gaze drifting towards her Empress. She had wondered how the boy who had disturbed her fishing would react to her presence. However, she was fine with zero reaction. Once everyone who wanted to join this meeting were here, the monochrome woman began.

It seemed this meeting was mostly for the youth. Luckily for Cian, she was still quite young. However, she was not a puppy under a year, and had quite the experience trying to teach herself how to live. These youth were blessed with a peaceful upbringing, unlike her. They were able to learn from their elders, their family and pack. That was what this meeting was about. It was an opportunity to help the pups find their mentors, their teachers. Cian’s turquoise optics glanced around at all the youth around with dawning understanding. She then allowed her gaze to drift towards all the adults around who had arrived to support the youth of their pack.

The girl waited, uncertain to everyone’s chosen skill sets. Ciannait wanted to take this opportunity she was offered. She wanted to learn. However, unlike the pups surrounding her, she didn’t know the rest of the pack very well, and couldn’t make her choice as quickly. As the adults voiced what they could teach, Ciannait noted that most offered skills in fighting. She was not good at fighting, and honestly didn’t have much interest in it. Now hunting was different. She loved the rush it brought, loved how it made her mind work through strategies. Traveling was also an interest of hers. Seeking out what the world around her offered. It’s challenges, it’s bounty.

Though none of the adults seemed to offer exploration as their skills, she did pay attention to those who offered lessons in hunting. There was a woman with what appeared to be ram horns protruding from her crown. She had offered her skills in hunting and crafting. Ciannait turned towards the woman and nodded to her. Celeste, the horned woman had introduced herself as. ”Would you be willing to teach me a thing or two about hunting?” she asked the horned woman. ”I’m self-taught, and know some of my… techniques… could be worked on.” Ciannait admits a bit sheepishly. ”My name is Ciannait,” the yearling quickly adds. The earthen toned yearling waits a moment for the teal eyed woman to give her answer, and then ”I’m also interested in exploring the lands, I love checking out the different terrains and finding paths to hard to reach places,” She continues, ”If there’s anyone who wants to join me in my efforts to navigate and explore these lands, I would love the company, and welcome any tips and tricks that come from it.” Cian smiles, and falls silent.
