he was not surprised at lavender's silence, but found it a bit odd that the aptly-named dauntless held back, as well. naturally, easy stepped up, and his mouth quirked in amusement, quickly fading into a neutral expression as she slipped across the ice and crashed into the brush.
she recovered well, though, and crept silently toward the creature, her sleek body moving smoothly and quietly as she eyed her quarry. a sharp inhalation gave her away, though, and the hare bounded away. despite her best efforts, easy came away with a stick, dropping it in disappointment soon after.
aditya looked firmly down at the trio of children still surrounding him, hoping to silence any laughter they might have, even involuntarily, at easy's expense. hunting was a skill everyone had to learn, and a productive learning environment did not blossom from derision, even in its most playful form.
"very close, easy," he said to her, smiling. his eyes swept over the pups. "see how quietly she snuck up on the hare? that's the way. with bigger animals, we can afford to be a bit louder, but small prey can better feel the vibrations in the ground. even just a small breath gave you away," aditya added, giving easy a kind look.
gazing around, he said, "the hare's still at large. who wants to have a go, next?"
