Lost Creek Hollow Everyone has

The boys, at least, paid attention to their lessons -- or did so more regularly than Brou, at least.  Kids were easily distracted, sure, but they still had to learn at some point.  At Brou's boasting, Arbiter gave her a sort of over-the-glasses kind of look. The trio of them were novices and had a lot to figure out.

Speaking of!  Pike ran back over, yelling, "Deer!  There's deer!  An' you and Dad an' other stuff!"

Behind him came Spook, who looked pretty upset, "No, waaaaaait--!  Wait for meee--!'  It was pretty likely he'd been sort of thumped by his brother, who wanted to get back first to report because Spook looked like he was pretty unhappy about it all. "We're supposed to go together!"

Pike bounced up to Arbiter, seeking praise as he continued to talk over Spook, "When d'we get to go hunt the deer?  I wanna hunt!"

Arbiter nuzzled the top of Pike's head, then Spook's a moment after once he bumbled over, When you're bigger.  Sarah can help teach all three of you, too.  First you're going to have to start with something smaller.  But since you're getting so good at tracking, next will be trying to figure out which of the deer we should hunt. Hopefully they caught on as quickly as they had with tracking -- it was far more important for them to be able to pick a good target than to just run at things.  It would keep them alive.

Of course, note that since the boys did what she asked, they were the ones that had been more directly told they were doing well.
