Spring Sunsets

Delaeni's teal eyes widened as Azoula gave her a sly smirk, the intensity of the moment causing her heart to race even faster. She felt the brush of their shoulders, a subtle instance of what seemed to be reassurance. Delaeni hesitated for a moment, taking a deep breath to steady herself- watching her companion with a mix of awe and anxiety as Azoula gracefully descended the dune, blending into the landscape with a predatory ease. She couldn't help but marvel at Azoula's prowess, the way she moved with calculated precision. The anticipation hung thick in the air, and the adrenaline coursing through her veins made her senses hyperaware.

Attempting to mimic Azoula's stealthy approach, Delaeni crouched low and followed suit, moving with caution as she too tried to stay downwind of the boar. The soft sand beneath her paws muffled her steps, but despite her efforts, she couldn't quite match Azoula's poise. As they neared the herd, Delaeni's nerves got the better of her, and she stumbled slightly, causing a small shift in the sand. The boars, sensitive to the disturbance, began to raise their heads, sniffing the air.

A wave of panic surged through Delaeni as she realized her mistake. The element of surprise was slipping away. In a desperate attempt to salvage the situation, she quickened her pace, trying to catch up to Azoula. Though the far more skillful huntress was already in action. The piercing squeals of a hog that feared for its life broke the air, causing the rest of them to scatter, the rest of their grunts and squeals filling the air. Delaeni's teal eyes darted around, searching for an opportunity, but the chaotic scene had disrupted any chance of a coordinated approach. She attempted a clumsy pursuit of what seemed to be an easy target, but one of the larger boars charged her in defense- leaving her no choice to abandon her own attempt at a catch.

Once out of harm's way, she returned to Azoula's proximity, uncertain of what to say for herself. At least Azoula had been successful.
