in theory

With so many children it was difficult to keep eyes on all of them, especially when you only had one working eye, but Chimera tried. When one would wander further than the rest, he would make his way there to ensure their safety. Sweet little Elara had wandered away from the group and the giant man followed. He didn't stop the girl from her fun, following at a distance.

Hunting play, Chimera noted. And then he had an idea. If Elara really wanted to hunt, he would supply her with that experience. He didn't go too far, but the black and white giant cut away from the girl. It didn't take him long to find one of the many rabbits that called the lake home. He caught it, snapping one back leg with ease. The rabbit screamed, but he muffled its calls. With the live rabbit between his jaws, Chi made his way back to his daughter.

A normal parent would think that an act like this had the possibility of scarring a child, but Chimera was no normal parent. The sooner that they learned to kill, the more prepared they would be for life's dangers.

As Elara dove at a pile of moss, Chimera deposited the struggling rabbit beside her. It still had a lot of fight in it, but it was lacking its natural speed, being reduced to three legs. "I thought you might enjoy some actual prey, sweet one." What she would do was yet to be seen, but Chi was there to help her if she needed pointers.
