Takin My Time [Hunt]

Tarnish watched the creatures as the moved, noting how muscular they were as well as how strange their faces were with such enlarged nostrils. No doubt they'd be tricky to sneak up on but at the moment he was far enough away and downwind so he wasn't worried. Movement caught his attention and he looked to see a dark-pelted yearling approach. Tarnish tensed at first but then relaxed as he followed the boy's gaze from the Takin back to him. Tar nodded. Yes, he was more than happy to split the kill just for the thrill of taking such a strange beast down.

Before he could speak a strange little horned pup appeared. Tarnish quirked a brow at Jiro. What the heck was this tiny pup doing out here. What good was he going to be? Tarnish supposed he could always pick the kid up by the scruff and toss him as a distraction. Ah… that was mean. He knew it was, especially when he'd been just as determined to hunt at that age. Thankfully, another older yearling arrived to even out their numbers, asking what the plan was. Well fuck if he knew. Tarnish bit his lip before puffing out his chest. "We'll kill the injured one. I'll sneak up as close as I can and startle the herd. The rest of you help drive it away from the others. Let's get it alone and whoever has a chance to get the throat, take it." Tarnish didn't bother with rigid hunting plans. Things rarely went to plan anyway and he didn't care who took the kill so long as the thing died.

Uninterested in feedback and eager to start Tarnish slunk forward, his pitch black pelt blending into the shadowy underbrush of the forest. He slunk closer and closer, slithering forward until he dare not go any closer. The Takin were all looking around at this point, their large nostrils flaring. Likely they smelt that something was off but could not locate the source.

Tarnish exploded out of the brush with a snarl, aiming for the injured takin as they exploded into motion around him. They scattered away from him in a pounding flurry of motion. Dang they were big up close!
