*Roughly pats your back*
Now that's the way to look at it.

@Meta

Yep *Smiles and gives a thumbs up*

Heyyy, nice going.
*Looks at the doe*
I can't read whether you feel bad for it or not, but it... gets easier the more you go through. They die for a purpose bigger and more important than them. A sacrifice for the greater good.

@Meta

Nah i'm just thinking how good it's gonna tase *Makes yummy good good sounds like mmmm*

<Snipped quote by CuttleFish>

First time hunting?

@Meta

Yep

*Claps, my gloves muffling the sound*

@Meta

*Shoots a wink at you and then looks at the doe*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by CuttleFish>

*Two of your knives miss their intended targets and the calf ends up with its ear nicked, but the other one hits one of the two doe's perfectly in the back of the neck. The calf and the doe end up startled and flee as the other doe flops to the ground, already dead and unable to move even if it weren't.*
Lu: *Walks over and retrieves the two knives that missed, putting them away before going over to your kill and removing that knife as well. Taking a moment to roll it onto it's side, I look it over before slitting its throat and starting to field dress it. I speak as I work, not taking my eyes off the task at hand.* Good job. That was a hard hit to land.

@Darlit Glitch

Thank you. I'm impressed myself.

*Holds some rabbits by the back legs*
Hey, good job guys. You really nailed that one.

@Meta

Yeah we did, I guess all that training was worth it.

Lu: *Silently watches.*
*As you get closer, it turns out to be two doe's and a young calf. All three of them are attentive and on the alert, though they haven't seen you yet.*

@Darlit Glitch

*Stops relatively close to them, with a thoughtful look on my face. After a few seconds, reaches for 3 knives, and puts each blade in between different fingers, and after rapidly darting around his eyes for a bit, rapidly throws each knife, 1 knife for 1 deer*

<Snipped quote by Balance>

*The closer you get, the more it becomes apparent that it's a lone grey wolf.*
Bret: *Quietly.* It doesn't seem to have noticed us yet, but it might smell us if we're upwind of it.

@Darlit Glitch

*Looks back, and looks relieved*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by CuttleFish>

*Grins and shoots you a thumbs-up*

@Meta

*Mouths* It's on
*Starts moving around the clearing and closing in on the animals*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by CuttleFish>

*Waves at you from several meters away*

@Meta

*Looks, and then looks back at the animals, and then back at the hunter*
You wouldn't dare steal this from me.

Lu: It's to get an idea of how well you hunt, that's all.
*Follows, making little sound as I do so. A bird or two can be heard occasionally chirping in the trees after a while.*

@Darlit Glitch

*Continues walking, until sees 3 individual movements in a far off tree line, past a clearing*
*Licks finger and puts it into air*
Ok good, looks like that's our prey, what do you think?

Myriad Reality

*Kleid and the other hunter have disappeared into the forest by now.*

<Snipped quote by Balance>

Bret: *Nods.* You also get to lead the way. I can't see how well you do until you make your own choices.

<Snipped quote by CuttleFish>

Lu: *Responds quietly without much emotion in my voice.* I'm Luceil, but I prefer that others call me Lu. *Shakes your hand, though not for long.* You get to lead unless trouble occurs.

@Darlit Glitch

Well, nice to meet you Lu. That doesn't seem like the best decision, but I'll try.
*Starts walking walking into the denser woods*
