With the heat of summer slowly beginning to fade away, it was easier to be outside for extended periods of time without having to worry about the direct sunlight. While she wasn't exactly an impressive huntress herself, she loved to learn new things. Over time, it evolved into having a small knowledge basis in a variety of topics. And for this reason, she was eager to help teach her cousin some of the things she had learned to help the younger girl to develop her own skillsets. "Just this way," Talyssa said lightly as she led Callie down one of the game trails she was more familiar with. The amount of rain that they had received recently had done a number on the terrain. As they traversed the path, the dirt seemed to get a little choppy leftover from the number of creatures that took this particular route as part of their daily routines. She wasn't looking for anything specifically- just wandering with purpose until the found something worth stopping for.
However, when a single rabbit darted out from the cover of the tall grass from one side of the trail to the other, she couldn't help but grin at the opportunity. Not that she had any use for hunting down a rabbit warren at this particular moment, but she thought it could definitely be a fun challenge for them. "There, we'll start with that rabbit." She announced with enthusiasm. As the approached the place she had seen the rabbit disappear into the thicket, she paused for a moment- rising to her toes to see if she could see anything obvious from a slightly taller vantage. Satisfied that they would have to work a little bit to figure out where it went, she returned her attention to Caladia. "Okay, so in this specific scenario, we know that the ground is still kinda damp in places. We saw where the rabbit disappeared at, so we're going to look for signs of which direction he went after that." Talyssa began, introducing some of the foundational skills before going on. "There are different kind of signs to look for- mainly just trying to see if the area has been disturbed or not. Think of broken grass, prints in the ground, hair caught in the thicket, that sort of thing." The older girl finished, glancing from her cousin to where the rabbit re-entered the tall grass. For the first time, she began to inspect the area for herself- searching for an example to show Caladia.
