Do you want to raise up?

“Arcturus,” Kotori nodded to his nephew as he approached.  “I was thinking to offer you a proposition.”  His nephew had gained the size of so many in the Fatalis family, being just couple of inches larger than Kotori.  He had filled out well and had a dense mane around his neck.  “I want to see what sort of prey we can find in the nook.  Not just in the form of little rabbits or deer.  I need a wolf to lead a group of wolves to hunt some larger game.  Do you feel comfortable taking the point of leaer and grabbing something large?  Bufalo would be great if any are there, elk, something with lots of meat on it around those lines.”

He didn’t doubt Arc’s hunting abilities and he expected he expected he would be fine leading a hunt but Kotori wasn’t sure if he had done it before.  It was a skill that was needed for a higher rank. “If you can succeed in leading a hunt then I will give you the rank of Jousi, the highest station of our hunters.  There are too many wolves not to have someone in the role.  You are both my nephew and more importantly, I believe capable of the position.”
