"If one of you distract it for me, I could leap on it from behind."

It wasn't a bad idea, and was rather similar to what he already had in mind. She was the fastest of the three, no doubt, and she had something a bit better than her fists to hunt with. The plan could work...but, once again, selfish thoughts fleeted through his mind. The horn, and the meat. The rabbit was too small for them to share three-way, and he knew that Isurta wasn't stupid - she'd want the horn, as well. It was sharp and a decent length. Something in the back of his mind told him that it was better than the pig-sticker he currently gripped in his hands. Maybe he should have went off on his own...then, he wouldn't be having these thoughts.

"Brother Xaal and I could charge the beast when ready, leaving an opening for Sister Isurta to attack."

He snapped out of his reveries, taking in the details of Kishi's words. 

That was the plan, then. 

Xaal was pleased that he managed to stay quiet, leaving the two to come up with the plan on their own. He could have said what was on his mind immediately, of course, but that would have made him the psuedo-leader of their little trio. Xaal wasn't so sure that he wanted that responsibility. That same little voice at the back of his head told him that family dying because of his actions wouldn't feel too good. He had never experienced grief before, and he had no intentions of doing so on his third day of [i]being[/i].

The rabbit then chose the moment to move, it's long ears twitching as it moved towards a nearby bush of berries. A smirk pulled on Xaal's lips - the plan would work, considering the rabbit chose to show it's back to the bush. It was now directly across from their place in the clearing. If they managed to send it scurrying towards the bush, where Isurta was waiting, then maybe...if she was fast enough, she could run out and take it by surprise, although she would have to be mindful of the horn. His plan solidified, Xaal finally turned his eyes towards his siblings, his voice barely a whisper.

[b]"Isurta, stay hidden, but be fast. We will go around and lead it towards you, and you be ready to strike. It won't expect you here. Kishi, make sure it runs towards Isurta's bush. No...fear."[/b] His voice, nearly silent, and still rough from disuse, cracked a bit at the end, but Xaal ignored the soreness for now, giving Brother Kishi a nod. They'd put the plan into action now.

His footsteps were quiet, Xaal hyper-aware of any sticks or leaves underneath his feet as he carefully moved around the rabbit, towards it's front. Kishi was big, for a goblin, and Xaal wasn't too bad himself. They could do this.

With a subconscious twitch of his fingers, Xaal tore out of the bushes, eyes sharp and fierce as he leaped through the berries and towards the horned rabbit. The horn was even sharper up-close, but from the subconscious knowledge of prey, he knew that they ran first, and attacked later. Crimson eyes watched the horn religiously, even as Xaal made a lunge towards the rabbit, stabbing swiftly towards the soft flesh of the rabbit's neck. It would either have to die here, or make a swift 360 and run in the opposite direction. He would leave it no choice.

If it attacked, then he would [i]dodge[/i]. His reflexes and instincts were very sharp, if not sensitive.

Kishi would, hopefully, be nearby, ready to make scary movements and corral the rabbit towards Isurta's waiting spot.
