Moonspear it gets better

He was quiet again for a long moment during which his sights never strayed from the sea lion he'd motioned all of their attention towards. It did surprise him a bit when their dad said they'd try it, so, encouraged by this idea and the go-ahead itself, he tried to understand how to apply what little he had seen, plus what he now knew through warnings about them, to the best way to kill and eat that beast. He tried not to, but he wondered what it might taste like as he followed Charon in closer to the beasts.

Alright, well, he was about halfway through his nod to say he was prepared when he realized what the noise was from one of the bigger ones. In the next instant, Vela was off on cue to make for a diversion, and, well, already feeling like he had to make haste since she was going for her end too, he pivoted himself more towards the young sea lion's backside and tried to zero in. Hopefully their dad was going to fill in the other blanks here, because Jarilo was just guessing at this point, and eager to tear anything up.

Every stride came faster than the one before it, and by the time he got close enough to really try to do anything, the young one had started to flee in its weird way, propelled by its strange flat paws. But, unwilling to balk at this oddity, he charged as mightily as he could with unfamiliar sand underneath his toes, and eventually managed to hook his outstretched teeth in its rump. The way the muscles curled and reacted to him, unsurprising, came as shock and he didn't prepare to dig his grip deep enough to do major damage; it was tougher than he had truthfully expected.

When it wrenched away from him, he slipped back and it hauled it off even faster, now bleeding, crying, and obviously wanting to veer towards the adults again--though he tried desperately to stay near it, but not its mouth-end. Gathering himself he threw forward for another charge to try to slow it down this time, so he aimed and rushed this time for its rear.. feet paw flipper thing in hopes that doing so might do.. something useful.
