Neverwinter Forest Believe that time is always forever

Alastor offered a wag of his tail as they made their promises, relaxing slightly, but not being put entirely at ease. He wasn’t sure what types of skills the children might already possess, but didn’t see it as being too big of an issue. They’d promised to take cover if their prey got testy, and that was all he needed to know. After all, their safety was his top priority. “Very good,” he voiced, smiling at the both of them before looking right at the boy and nodding his head. “Yes, silence is one of the most important things when hunting. Wouldn’t want to scare off all the prey,” he said, looking between the both of them. Silence and stealth, as well as teamwork. Three things that were necessary when it came to hunting, though the latter was more flexible depending on the size of the targeted animal. “Remember to walk carefully, be mindful of what surrounds you.” With that, he turned around and took a few steps in the direction the scent of the deer came from. He placed his paws on any pine needles he could find, making sure to avoid the crunch of the dead leaves, then stopped and looked back at the children. “Make sure the wind is always coming towards your front, or else the prey might smell you coming and run away.”
 
After getting those last few words out, he closed his mouth and motioned for them to follow him. “Keep close,” the Greek murmured, voice hardly raising above a whisper. He lead them along through the woods, changing their path every once in awhile to accommodate the shift in the winds. Though they’d been farther off than what he’d originally believed, they eventually came across a small herd of deer. The cervines nosed around the space, searching for spots that provided the best source of nutrients. He stopped and crouched down, silently informing the two to repeat his actions. “Which one do we go after?” Alastor asked, his voice low as he motioned towards the herd with his muzzle. He wanted to figure out some of what they already knew when it came to hunting, to figure out what all he would need to explain. The foreigner had no problem taking the time to teach them, but didn’t want to waste any time telling them things they might already be fully aware of.
