Ouroboros Spine you were the only one

Once Sidewinder had agreed to the premise of a hunt, Mordecai had no qualms about taking the lead. Given his history though, perhaps that was unsurprising. He set off from where they stood to bring them lower into the basin, slipping between the trees smoothly. It was easy for him to drop all thought this way, to hone in and focus on something else that mattered. In this case, he felt keeping up on the caches would benefit them more than anything else.

And in a way, he could use it to do his own testing.

He stepped over a puny stream along their path, pausing momentarily to scent the air carefully. “Last time I was over this way, there were a bunch of pheasants trying to nest down. How well do you like giving chase to fast runners?” A cheeky grin spread on his features for a moment, thinking of the two of them trying to catch any of them. Mordecai knew they were quick on their feet, and wondered how well their success would fare in the varied terrain.
