Dragoncrest Cliffs Feathers everywhere!

Eske is paired to Kendra and if she would have believed in the Gods her mother praised (she did not) she would have thanked every one of them. There isn’t anyone else she wants to be paired with but she couldn’t help but see how this pack wide hunt could be beneficial for Kendra whom she was aiding to hunt. Though Eske had placed her desire to become huntress on the back foot until she earns her place was Wanlida as a next step from Cheka she has not forsaken her promise to Kendra. When Heda does not need her oft seeks to spend time with Kendra. Though Eske worried that speaking her feelings to the girl had been premature she is glad they are spoken nevertheless. Regardless of what transpires between them in the future Kendra is her friend first and Eske will be whatever the older girl needs and wants her to be.

The pair venture down to where Arlo and Melchior found the wild turkeys, her eyes and ears alert for the large birds, but not too attentive to miss Kendra’s concern. Eske’s focus when she’d been attempting to train under Wildfire had been ungulates and birds were a bit of a foreign territory to her but she assumes the mechanics are the same. Just the tactics and approach should be different. She knows a bit about turkeys though, enough she hopes to soothe the dark furred beauty she walks beside. “Nothing is impossible, Kendra,” Eske says with a bit of a cheesy grin to accent the cheesy words as they leave her lips. “Turkeys feed on the ground and that’s our main advantage,” Eske tells Kendra, sparing the girl a glimpse from the corner of her eyes with a soft smile tugging at the corners of her lips. “They only really seem to fly when they seek to roost in trees.”

Eske purses her lips as Kendra turns to her to decide how to best approach their mission. Birds were never Eske’s hunting specialty — she always preferred ungulates. Big game. She frowns in contemplation, her ears slicking back to rest atop her crown at half mast as she mulls it over, studying the turkeys before them and trying to mentally map out what would be their best course of action. It hits her then that perhaps she should put to test Kendra’s abilities. This was a team effort, after all. Sea-glass green gaze moves from the turkeys to her partner with an encouraging smile upon the curl of her lips. “How do you think we should hunt them?” If Kendra didn’t feel confident enough then Eske was fairly certain she could wrangle up a plan but she genuinely wanted to see if Kendra had any ideas while also trying to be a good (haha) teacher and encourage Kendra to venture out of her comfort zone and think outside the box. Eske thinks it would be easier to flank a bird and attempt to herd it off but perhaps her amour pupil would have a better idea.
