lmk if the powerplay isn't good!
zoug dragged @Talisman hunting every day. he showed the younger male how to hunt in the early mornings, when mice and birds were wakening and snakes were still sluggish. how the thick unyielding heat of midday was lethal in large doses but the best time to hunt scorpions. how evening was for gathering the flowering vines, and nightfall was theirs to rest, to yip, to dance in the sand.
he taught talisman a few paw-signs as well, sharing the guttural words of the clan with deliberate slowness.
when spring came, the tribe would have pups. it meant a temporary compromise of nursing mothers, that was why he needed talisman to be skilled and apt, as more work would fall to them both for a time.
today was no exception. longfooted hares stared back at the coyotes, their lengthy ears delicate with blood vessels. to catch one was not easy. to catch one in the heat was an achievement. for a long time, he only studied their tall forms.
