NOT EVEN A LITTLE BIT.

 

Hydra nodded to the other, disappointed to hear it only due to the prevalence of the lack of it; the only benefit to it was that her wolves were becoming quite adept at catching the herds of winter hare. Still, it was a task that cost plenty of energy with low reward for it unless several were caught. In any case, that Katya could not take it down independently was not of surprise to Hydra either. She could not think of any wolf adept enough to take down a lone animal themselves... except for she herself, though that had been largely due to the circumstances surrounding it. The whiteout weather coupled with the does fatigue had done her plenty of favors. 

But perhaps Hydra would become her families once-in-a-generation expert hunter. She was well on her way to it, and had yet to reach her own prime. Stepping alongside Katya, one ear swiveled in her companions direction. That is a first, she drawled, but she was glad to hear it. Still, we have had more than one trespasser in the past months. Perhaps they have heard what has happened to them, she considered. One had almost died, being impaled by a stick and threatened with further violence from herself and her brother, one had died, and the other... 

Hydra sighed. She would permit no one to harm her children. She had done well in keeping them safe, in teaching them the ways of the wild... she would only ever continue to do so, for as long as she was able. 

When Katya next spoke, Hydra looked to her: we can begin as soon as now, if you would like, she offered, if you are feeling rested and settled enough. Otherwise, perhaps tomorrow evening, one more nights sleep ought to do it, if the night prior had not given her enough rest from her travels and scouting.
