Tooth and Claw

Maelstrom doesn't acknowledge his sister's arrival aside from a brief glance in her direction. He's not surprised that she's shown up. Cress had shown a recent interest in hunting. Rather, Maelstrom continues to look at Azoula, his head nodding respectfully when she agrees that they can attend the hunt. Her words clearly dictate that this would not be an easy hunt by any means. Clearly, it wasn't a hunt meant for pups to learn or train, but that didn't mean he wouldn't try either.

Though he doesn't quite understand the danger that will come from hunting such a deer, the pup still follows. Settling in close beside his sister, he does his best to focus. Slinking forward, lowering his body, ears forward and alert as his eyes scan the surroundings. Ensuring that he keeps a good distance between himself and Azoula, he can already begin to feel the excitement that will surely come in the next moments.
