Chincf's hackles begun to bristle and his ears curve backwards as a growl builds in his throat. "I thought she was right behind you!" He snapped somewhat frustrated though he was clearly trying not to take it out on the other hunter too badly. Of all the times to lose a pack member, it had to be on the first spring hunt when their food was drastically low. The beta paces back a few paw steps, glowering into the treeline. There was nothing for it, they would have to go back and look for her. The beta huffed out an angry breath. "We'll have to backtrack, but let's not waste the time we spent tracking these rabbits and see if you and I can catch some on our own first." Chincf muttered,  padding towards another hole that has fresh tracks scattered around it, indicating the rabbits had recently used it. Peering into the dark opening, he discovers two rabbits huddled in the tunnel.  Growling, Chincf snaps his teeth and sends them running, hoping they will dart for the exit where Carek is waiting and not one of the others that are unguarded.

Saaba was quite relieved that Avir didn't openly tease her about her lack of fishing ability, sinking down to lie on the ground as he darted off downstream. While she watched over the cub and waited for him to return she suddenly realised how drained she felt. She had cut it close this time, a few more days and she wouldn't have been able to hunt at all. With the snow melting now, hopefully prey would be easier to find in a few weeks' time. Avir returned with some fish, dropping them beside her. Her mouth watered just from the smell and she looked up at him for a moment before gladly tearing into the fish. They didn't last long. Licking the stray scraps from her whiskers, the tigress nodded. "Thanks..." the question was...what now? They couldn't leave the cub on her own, but travelling with a male permanently? Saaba wasn't sure she liked the idea of that.
