Takin My Time [Hunt]

He's the largest one of the party. His long legs will come in handy toward the end. Reserving his energy for now, Wilder continues to nip at the heels of the takin. Even so much as taking a bite out of a thigh as Tarnish lands atop the beast. The stumbling mistake from the takin allows Wilder to slip off to the side. He notices Tarnish riding atop the takin, attacking it from above. What a clever way to do things!

And then he notices the other boy, the quiet one, is attacking the other rear leg. His younger brother is attaching on to the front leg inches away from him. This was his moment. The takin is slowing down, getting exhausted from all the extra weight. Releasing the reserved energy he's been saving, Wilder pushes forward and makes it up to takin's head. Dodging a sweeping blow from its attacking face, he dives back as the takin winds up for another go. His jaw opens wide, latching successfully onto the takin's vulnerable neck where he can clamp down and open it up. Severing the jugular, his face is doused in blood, but he can hear the takin take its last breath before falling to the ground.

Quick to let go and jump back, he avoids being squished by the giant creature. Breathless, he looks to make sure the other boys aren't injured either. "Ready to eat?" He says, breathless and also exhausted, but too excited to try something he's never had before.
