Playing With The Big Boys

They had been traveling for a day or so… only to arrive here… the base of a volcano. Priscilla looked around curious, her bright mismatched gaze thoughtful. The air here seemed a bit warmer though it also wasn’t as fresh due to the ash coming from the volcano. Priscilla had never seen such terrain though… it was rocky and strange. She canted her head to the side and looked over at Osiris, speaking up in a calm voice. “Should we see what lies at the top do you think? Or would it be better to go around?” It was only around midday… they still had plenty of time to explore the area… though if it got dark they wouldn’t really have anywhere to den for the night unless there was a cave further upon the mountain… Something Priscilla wasn’t too sure of.

Osiris thought about it. The place did seem rather unsafe. He had heard stories of things such as this, how some volcanoes could become semi-active, and others could lay dormant. It was certainly interesting for the young male, and he thought even more so when it came to Priscilla. The land they stood upon seemed unstable, and one wrong move could lead to injury for them which wouldn't be a good situation. Besides, Osiris was not much of a healer, and if that volcano decided it would be a perfect time to erupt, he didn't want the chance of her or even himself getting hurt by much worse. Though it seemed dormant now, who knew when the next eruption could occur. He turned his cranium towards her, his eyes thoughtful.
"It might be best to go around. I don't want the chances of one of us getting hurt if we go further up. It is a magnificent structure, that I can say the least," He chuckled before looking back to where they came from. Where they stood, there was a good chance that if they moved further, the possibility of finding food and maybe even a body of water might be in their favor, and perhaps even a possible place to sleep for the night despite there being more daylight. ""Perhaps we can go further and see if we can't find any awaiting rabbits or a weak deer."

Priscilla gave a small nod as Osiris answered. He was right… there was the chance of one of them getting hurt in such terrain… and that was the last thing either of them needed. Still… she couldn’t help but be curious about such a place. She glanced back up the volcano’s path and shook her head. Perhaps it was a trip for another day, another time… when they were more prepared for it. For now, however, there was the chance of moving forward and finding something else to entice their interests.
“Yeah, that might be the better idea.” The female twitched her ears a little as he suggested food, remembering her other friend. “I uhh, actually don’t eat rabbit.” She said with a nervous chuckle. “I don’t think cotton would be too amused with me if I did. He’s a bunny my uncle caught for us to train with once and well… I befriend him instead of practicing my hunt training…” The female smiled at the memory. “But we’ll find something for sure!” She began to pad off, continuing around the path along the base of the mountain.
“Who knows? Maybe we WILL find a deer or something.”

[font=Times New RomanNow that was certainly something the wolf had yet to hear. Befriending a rabbit? That was certainly something he thought he would never hear or see, but she had her beliefs and he had his, so who was he to judge about it. He gave a rather playful chuckle and nodded to her words, "Alright then, but yes we will find some form of food. If not, perhaps that fishing lesson might be put to good use?" He smirked as they trailed onward, his eyes looking around him before glancing back to the female who seemed to be caught up in wander as well. He never thought he would find a friend such as her. She was definitely unique, but had a lot of characteristics he did, like wishing to help people as much as she could. However, he didn't realize he was zoning out again, for as he was walking his mind decided it would be the perfect opportunity to whack his head against a tree trunk.
The brute yelped slightly from the shock, sitting on his haunches and looking at the tree before turning his attention back to his friend, "Wow, who put that there?" He grinned, trying to run it off as a sort of accident. Priscilla certainly had him thinking that was for sure. But, before long, the sounds of deer reverberated in his ears. They were grazing off in the far distance and didn't seem to notice them right away, so this would be a great opportunity for at least a lesson. "You think we can take one of these out? I can drive one of the weaker ones toward you and you for the throat?" Tilting his head, thinking about a possible plan.][/font]

Priscilla gave a nod of agreement. “Once we find some water that’d be a good idea!” The female said happily. “I’m ready to learn~ If you think you can teach me that is.” Her words were playful, in one of the best moods she had been in for a long time. She was moving at an easy pace though there was definitely some pep in her step as she moved along. She couldn’t think of a better wolf to be wandering with than Osiris. He was the perfect friend… they were different, yet so similar… She really hoped that she’d be friends with him for a long time… or better yet see him join Lirim.
Priscilla gasped as she heard a sudden thud and turned her head to find that Osiris had walked directly into a tree. She whined softly, worried for him. But the male noticed prey, distracting her from fussing over him. She turned her head towards the grazing deer, surprised they hadn’t noticed them yet. “We could always try!” She said in a quiet tone, not wanting the deer to hear them. “After you then. I’ll come in and do what I can!”

Osirs smiled and nodded his cranium, moving towards a nearby snow pile that was downwind from them. His eyes staying locked on the prey as they continued their grazing. He wasn't sure if this was going to be successful, but, at least this would be good practice for them when it came to hunting. His cranium did hurt a little bit when it came to the tree, but he was too occupied with the deer to really care at the moment. When he picked out a weak one that had a bad leg, be ran towards it as quite a good amount of speed, his eyes locked onto his target as well as to where Priscilla was. For it running on only three legs, it had slowed it down quite a bit as he turned it in the direction as to where his friend was waiting for him.
He snapped at the back of it's legs, enticing it into the direction he wanted. The dame he could tell was in a good position to snatch it, allowing her to do the killing blow since he was a bit too small for that, so this would be a good way to use their sizes and strengths when it came to a hunt.
