Tarnish was growing stronger by the day and now cured of his illness he was eager to make up for lost time. Though, it might not looking it from how still he was. Crouched near a collection of rocks he barely moved, dark eyes fixed on an anole that was sunning itself nearby. There were a number of the lizards and he'd watched them for awhile before deciding to try and catch one. His ears pinned to his head, hind legs bunching under his frame… he pounced!

And he missed. "Shit!" Tarnish hissed as the little lizard scrambled back into the cracks between the rocks. This was harder than he thought. Above him he heard a cackling, croaking laugh from Worc as the crow watched the going-ons. Tar scowled. "You could try to help you know."

"And miss the show? I think not! Besides, how are you going to learn if I keep doing the work for you."

With a scowl he scuttled to the other side of the rock, hiding in its shadows and waiting for another chance.

Sorra could no longer be lazy! It was about time he got to work, or he couldn’t face his dad or even their alpha. So he’d taken to the islands, he would find good prey anywhere he could. He’d embraced the fact his small size made it harder to fight. His serrated teeth generally gave him an advantage on prey even if it were bigger than him. His hunt was stopped when he noticed a baby seemingly stalking a lizard. Sorra grinned watching the pup scramble to hope the lizard would crawl out again.

The small yearling tried to creep around. Not to disturb his fellow hunter. However he’d try to get as close as possible. For one simple thing, Sorra wanted to ask. He stayed hidden crouching low when he was within earshot. "Whatcha tryin to catch?" he whispered excitedly his tail running back and forth quietly.

Tarnish's tail twitched as he waited, trying to keep his breathing slow and even despite his heart hammering away in his chest. The lizard peeped out again and Tarnish pounced, just missing it. He felt its tail slide between his toes as it slipped back into its hole. Aww man! His ears perked up as he heard someone approach and he turned to see a yearling raider he didn't quite recognize. "A lizard! They're so fast." He glanced at the other wolf. "My names Tarnish, by the way. What about yours? Do you hunt around here much?" Maybe he could get a few pointers. He wanted to hunt lizards and fish and birds and all kinds of creatures!
