ancelin had become used to the cobwebbing of newly pink scars across his face. looking upon his reflection in the water did not anger him so much.
the months sprawled toward his first year. he had grown to his full height and gained a hard, pantherine demeanour, carved to bone and sinew by his endless hunting and patrolling at the fringes of redtail.
ancelin meant to earn back what he had lost, and it required focus. and that required isolation.
aventus had been alone a long while. if his father could do it, why not ancelin?
he went out and found a small herd of elk in the plains. he wanted to do as augur did, but could not quite find the nerve, not hoping to be half so large as the hunt-leader. instead, ancelin folded himself against the ground and became a shadow, slinking ever closer.

a wolf? he looked the part, but showed such intricate markings. his little shadow crept a distance away, from where she hoped unnoticed. kuroishi's brother had merely told stories of wolves and that they weren't as distant in her bloodline as one might assume; here, she could see one. for where this young girl was from, she had not seen any.
her presence in these plains was merely a faint hope of scoring a rabbit, but should this wolf score an elk she would surely linger for the left-overs. however, that was if she remain unnoticed and that he actually commit. an intense stare followed his steps as he lurked closer to the unknowing creatures.

kuroishi suffers from psychogenic mutism, and will likely not speak in threads. inner thoughts will be denoted like this.

he did not notice her, the spread of jet which poured after him across the plains. ancelin was concentrating far too much on what augur did, how he moved. but he announced himself with a snapped twig, and the heavy antlered heads of the elk tilted as they all broke into a run.
"fuck!" the redtail boy broke from cover and soared in pursuit, testing them with snaps to the air, falling back as a leg kicked his direction; he was finally knocked down by a hard shoulder and rolled to his paws just in time to see the last elk disappear over a riseline.
ancelin staggered in a frustrated daze.
