Tarnish puffed out his chest, eager to prove himself. He could be useful, annoying prey animals was one of his talents. "You got it!" He shoot out his coat and set his nose to work, following the fresh trail to a small group of stocky animals, wild boar. He matched the scent of the beasts to the trail and tried to hide his nervous swallow. They were big, and he didn't like the look of those tusks though he had some familiarity with them for Kaija, one of the raiders, boasted her own set.

Setting his brow with determination Tarnish slunk down into the brush and started slinking forward. His deep coat blending in with the shadows of the undergrowth. Above his companion Worc kept watchful eye, the crow waiting to dive in. tar's dark eyes sorted through the pigs, focusing on a young one that seemed a little more sluggish than the others. Perfect. Carefully, he altered his position and then sprang. Leaping out of the brush and into the center of the group of hogs, causing them to panic and scatter, but only for a moment before a large sow turned on him. Worc called out to him just in time and Tarnish rolled swiftly out of the way, learning from his experience with the bison. In a split second he lashed out with his claws at the smaller target, claws piercing flesh as it squealed and ran, seeking to join with the rest of the group. Fuck it was fast!

He darted after it, paws beating the ground as he sought to get between it and the herd. At that moment Worc swooped down and lashed at the young boar's face, between the two of them they drove it back but not before the sow reappeared. Tarnish barely dodged her tusks though her shoulder slammed into his hip, knocking him down. He wasn't down for long, springing back up through the pain and targeting the young boar once more, driving it farther away as Worc dove, talons out for the sow.
