Noisy!

Chimera had been doing a patrol of the Estuary when his pale pink eye spied Simurgh thumping angrily through the mud. It was rather amusing to see the trouble that the pup was having. If she had just stopped to take a breath, maybe she would have had better luck of staying clean. Well, that's what her father was for.

Long legs brought the big brute up beside the girl and he reached down, plucking her off of the muddy ground carefully. Adjusting his path slightly, Chimera deposited the girl on much drier land. Leaning down so that he was closer to her level, Chi used one big, black-toed paw to indicate a raised path in the swampy landscape. "If you stick to higher ground, you'll be able to travel more easily and conserve your energy for the hunt ahead."

The black and white behemoth hunkered down in the long grass, his gaze reaching out towards the massive tree at the center of the land, around which many birds congregated. "What do you see, Sim? Tell me about our prey and how you think we should catch it." He wasn't the type to simply do. Chimera wanted his children to learn. He wanted them to be intelligent and capable. He didn't want to worry when they were out of his line of sight.
