Blackfoot Forest way out of range

Kieran spoke of his own father, who was a mercenary. Both Lagan's mom and dad were mercenaries, and normally he would tell Kieran all about it, but at the moment he was too excited about hunting to talk more. Kieran said the words the older boy had been waiting to hear, and Lagan stuck his black nose to the ground. He glanced up at Kieran when the male spoke, but didn't move his head. He was too caught up in the searching for scents. He followed the trail and his new friend with hawk like focus.

After a bit of walking, Lagan could put a name on the animal they were stalking. A squirrel. He sometimes got squirrel and rabbit mixed up, they both smelled like rodents. I think there's a squirrel up ahead. He said, glancing back towards his hunting partner.
