he wasn't surprised when dauntless volunteered and lavender curled closer to him. in fact, he was beginning to regret summoning the thin-pelted girl from her warm den in the first place. she was clearly cold--as was he, come to think of it--her fur not suited for this weather. then again, he reasoned, she didn't have to come. she had wanted to, at least in some part.

those thoughts vanished as dauntless crept closer to the hare, and adi's hawkish gaze fixed sharply on the boy in his pursuit. he was quiet and still, but most importantly, he was patient, waiting for the hare to let down its guard before pouncing. and though it was drawn-out a bit, dauntless did deal a merciful blow, and soon the animal hung limp and dead in the boy's jaws.

"very well done, dauntless!" he praised his brother-in-law, giving him an affectionate nudge to the shoulder with his muzzle before lifting his head and looking at the four young ones. "speed and stealth are good things to master, but the most important thing in a hunt is perhaps patience. whether it's running down a deer that won't quit or waiting for a small animal to appear from its den. . .if you're not patient, if you strike too soon or give up too easily, you'll go home hungry.

"dauntless waited for the hare to come out, to let down its guard after easy's pursuit, before pouncing,"
aditya further explained, beaming. "that's how it's done."

he looked down at lavender by his side, and gave her a warm smile, wrapping his tail round her once more. his eyes flashed back to the others. "should we keep going, then, or have a snack?" he had a feeling they'd opt for snack.
