Rhazii nodded. "I think so. I will help, anyway, that is what dada says. It won't be like hunting with a bow, though. I will have to bite and scratch."

To Meesei, Fendros hummed a brief note. "I believe so. I've taken him hunting chaurus before, so he knows the dangers, but I'll have to trust him to avoid biting into the venom glands or getting pinched. The poison and acid won't kill him, but it's awfully painful. We'll be guiding him through the hunt, at any rate."

"Trust me?" Rhazii caught on to the conversation. "I've butchered plenty of chaurus before. I won't bite its glands!"
