Dragoncrest Cliffs with eyes painted gold

eske gives the young girl behind her a warning look over her shoulder aimed more so at the growl half of kiwi's reaction. she doesn't appreciate it and she lets out a small snap of her teeth, remembering why she's never been an overly active part of drageda's youngest generations before. they require a lot of patience — something that eske's struggled with all her life. but, she can't be too annoyed at kiwi. kiwi reminds eske a lot of herself when she was that age. a question comes a few moments later and eske glimpses down at the girl as she does her best to keep up. "you have track it. find a scent trail; recent or fresh scent trail are always the best." eske explains. in a way, this lesson feels almost ironic to eske whom, at one time, had wanted to pursue hunter. she later abandoned it in her plight to rise among the ranks of drageda's warriors. "a rabbit's warren is a good place to start but you have to approach them quietly because there might already be adult rabbits lingering around." eske stresses the word 'quiet'. "you have to be patient. you can't just go barging at them like a mad bull." eske explains to the young girl, glimpsing at her from time to time to see if she still holds her attention or if she's still at her side.

eske's steps slow then and she works to make her steps as quiet as she can before stopping all together. "there's a rabbit warren ahead," she gestures with her muzzle in the general direction. "i know it's there and now you know it's there but pretend for a moment that it isn't. there's a tuft of fur caught in that bramble there, and a fresh pile of rabbit droppings to the left. if the scent trail fades look for tufts of fur or droppings. it's your best indication at how recently your prey's been through."
