Hunting 101

Kotori watched the boy as he processed everything Kotori had said.  The Sumatar couldn’t read the boy's mind but he could at least tell the child was taking it seriously.  If the pup did get the rabbit to Kotori it would probably be as much luck as anything else.  Kotori offered a fine set-up but that only meant so much with an ignorant, small and weak pup.  Dinner wasn’t the point of this though.  This was a lesson on using strategy to hunt and to get experience chasing prey.  

Kotori watched the boy start his run, pup and rabbit heading towards him.  It lasted for a number of strides before Sochu tripped and fell.  Kotori stood up and walked towards the downed pup, ignoring the rabbit's escape.  “Before I offer any tips, anything you learned from this?  Don’t worry, there are plenty of rabbits around for more practice.  No wolf becomes a master hunter in a day, it takes a lot of time and hard work.”  He didn’t ask the child if he was alright, assuming he’d say if he was injured.  Kotori wasn’t here to pamper the child but he did offer some honest assurance that the boy was doing fine.
