Faint trickles of raindrops pattered their heads as the Taicho gestured for the children to stay close to him, not letting a single one venture out of his sight. All he had to do was shoot them a sharp glare if any of them so much as had a glint of mischief in their eyes. He yearned to show them, above all, hunting was no silly game. It could be dangerous if one wasn't careful and aware of the dangers proceeding them. In the clearing amongst the twisted, gnarled roots of the trees towering above them, a singular okapi stood and peacfully chewed on some tall foliage sprouted around a tree trunk, blissfully unaware of the predators behind it. Usagi crouched down suddenly, beckoning for the children with him to do the same. "Stay low," He whispered. "If it sees or smells us, it will run." He allowed a few moments for the children to gather and understand his words, before gesturing with a tip of his snout towards the oblivious okapi. "I will tell each of you what to do. Listen carefully. Hunts are not a silly game." He waited for each child to listen. "Shinrei, you will help trip it over when we give chase. Snap at its legs. Kaizen, once it's down, you will help me keep it from standing up. Jiro, once it's unable to move, you will help deliver the killing blow." He'd never led a hunt for kids before, but he only hoped they wouldn't start running after it until he gave the okay. "Do not move until I say so. Understand?" ”Speech” ’Thought’ |
