Ruelle nodded thoughtfully at the fighters' explanation, her worry only increasing when Kyiera mentioned there was no water to be found. "Shall we move in an hour or so?" she asked worriedly. "We might have to keep to a slower pace though. I can keep first watch while you all rest." She moved to the side and scrambled up a larger rock, sitting down near Accalia where she had a good view of the land around.

Averill nosed at Mirri gently and, finding her asleep, replied in a lower voice. "That's true, I keep forgetting we've helped to take down prey before, because all we do is wait around," he said, amused. "It'll be exciting to learn all the stalking and chasing though." His stomach grumbled loudly, and he flattened his ears in embarrassment, not sure whether to laugh or hide his face under his paws.

Kris kept his ears pricked, listening to the various conversations around him. None of it interested him much, though, and after hearing Ruelle mention they would be staying put for a while more, he closed his eyes. Before long, his breathing deepened and he was fast asleep.

"Thank you, Ruelle," Kyiera said gratefully before finding a good spot next to some of the other wolves and settling herself down. She wasn't sure if she was going to be able to fall asleep after all that commotion, but she prayed that it would come - if she had to lead the pack in an hour, she would need all the rest she could get.

Randir
{ hunter } { brute } { 5.5 years } { the cautious }
Both Randir and Chaser barked out their amusement when they heard Averill's stomach. "Well, somewolf seems pretty hungry - I'll ask Ruelle if I can go for a midnight hunt, see if there's anything around that will satiate this kid's hunger," he teased as he got up and padded over to the beta.

Chaser
{ fighter } { brute } { 8 years } { the sarcastic }
It truly was amusing, the way Averill acted like both a pup and a grown up wolf at times - Chaser never tired of the younger one's antics. Just then, the oldest wolf wondered where there omega was, and he looked around, only to find said omega fast asleep. "He doesn't talk much, does he?" he said aloud, referring to Kris.

Ruelle turned when she heard quiet pawsteps behind her. "Randir?" she said quietly, her gaze questioning. Hearing his suggestion, she shot an amused glance at Averill and nodded. "Sounds good, but don't go alone. Perhaps Averill would like to contribute to sating his massive appetite. Don't wake those who are sleeping though." She flicked her ears, silently shooing the hunter away. Quietly, she looked back around the landscape, her countenance calm and unbothered.

Averill sat up, his tail wagging slowly as he watched Randir speak to the beta. Hearing Chaser's comment, he looked over to the smoky fur of the omega. "Who? Kris? He's not very social, I suppose. I thought all omegas were like this," he replied with a shrug. It didn't bother him; he rarely had any interactions with Kris at all. "You coming hunting?" Before Chaser could respond, Accalia had responded eagerly, her eyes bright. Averill nudged Chaser pleadingly, his expression clearly amused. "Come on! Randir's going to have fun getting all of us fighters to hunt properly!"

Kris shifted in his sleep slightly. He rarely dreamt, but right now his dreams were full of heat and crackling flame. A low whine came from his throat even though his eyes were still closed, and his pelt was bristling slightly.

Kyiera
{ alpha } { fae } { 4 years } { the calm }
She wasn't asleep yet, but she was close to it. Sighing, she got up and settled herself next to Mirri. "You guys go have fun - don't get killed," she mumbled sleepily at the hunting party before plopping down and finally dozing off.

Randir
{ hunter } { brute } { 5.5 years } { the cautious }
Randir bounded back to the others and smiled sheepishly at Kyiera's sleepy-talk. She was always like that when she was only half awake - she'd mumble the weirdest things he'd ever heard. Then he looked back at the others. "Oh great, I'm pup-sitting fighters," he whined, suddenly realizing that both Lyall and Mirri were asleep.

Chaser
{ fighter } { brute } { 8 years } { the sarcastic }
Chaser yawned as he stretched out and arranged himself in a more comfortable position. "You pups go run around - I need my sleep," he grunted before closing his eyes.

Watching the little hunting party go, Ruelle began to feel slightly sleepy, especially with the rest of the pack breathing quietly around her. Standing and stretching her aching legs, she padded around for a while, finally finding a good spot to sit. It was slightly grassy, giving at least a modicum of comfort as she silently watched the twinkling stars.

"See you soon, Chaser!" Averill's expression was downright cheeky at Randir's groan of despair. Following the hunter, he trotted off with Accalia at his heels. They got a distance from the pack before he raised his voice a little without fear of waking anyone. "So what would we catch around here?" he asked quizzically. "There's nowhere for anything to hide, and no water." He sniffed the air for any prey scent.

Randir
{ hunter } { brute } { 5.5 years } { the cautious }
"Hares, mostly. But you've got to be really quiet because they can pick up sounds really easily." Silently, he padded through the clearing, his eyes scanning the area for movement - he was pretty sure that hares were nocturnal, unlike their fluffier counterparts. A light rustle caught his eye and he crouched down and slunk closer to it, thankful that he blended in quite well with the darkness. Without warning, he suddenly pounced and headed back to the other two with a hare gripped firmly in his jaws. Once he was sure it was dead, he laid it down in front of them and nudged it over towards Averill. "Go on - can't have you hunting on an empty stomach."

((I'll wake up my other wolves in the next post too. XD))

It remained quiet while the hunters were gone. In a way, Ruelle was glad for the silence and time alone; she had never been one for loud conversations and boisterous playing, although she did look upon wolves who did that rather fondly. Often, she felt like she had a huge litter of grown pups to care for. Her nose twitched in amusement as she thought of that. She would probably wake one of the other wolves soon so she could get a few moments of rest.

Averill blinked in surprise as Randir made a kill barely ten minutes after they had set off. "Thanks!" he said happily. "Come on, we should all eat." He crouched down, making space for Accalia and Randir as he tore at the large hare hungrily. He did indeed feel energized with some meat in his belly, and he immediately tried to sniff out any other hares in the area. He took care to tread lightly, having seen the hunter's near-silent pawsteps as he stalked prey. It was too bad there was no deer around - that would make a good meal for the whole pack.

Randir
{ hunter } { brute } { 5.5 years } { the cautious }
Randir backed off slightly - he wasn't hungry, and he felt that it would be rude if he technically ate the kill that he caught for another wolf. Once he saw that Averill was satiated, he trailed the younger wolf, just to make sure that he was hunting right. Said wolf was doing quite well actually, for a pup - in terms of hunting skills, that is. Satisfied, he checked up on Accalia, who was doing the exact same thing. As soon as he was sure that they could fend for themselves, he went a bit further away, but not before telling the fae, just so that one of them knew where he was.
His nose picked up several familiar scents, but most were either ground fowl - which were horrible to catch at night - and more hares. He could smell deer, but it seemed like they had passed through the area some time ago, thus the reason why their scent was more dull, compared to the others.

After waking Lyall to keep guard for the next half hour, Ruelle curled up near Chaser, already finding it difficult to keep her eyes open. Blinking sleepily, she let out a long sigh and drifted off to sleep wondering about what the next day would bring.

It took quite a while for Averill to even spot any sign of a hare, and when he did, he got over-excited and kicked at a rock, sending the hare fleeing in the opposite direction. Grumbling with disappointment, he settled down again and prowled around quietly once more, keeping a eye and ear out for prey. When he spotted another hare, nibbling tamely at the grass, he crouched low, determined to make a catch this time. He slunk closer, leaping out at the last minute with jaws snapping. He had to chase it for a few strides before his jaws closed over it; he looked up proudly, eyes gleaming in the moonlight.

Kyiera
{ alpha } { fae } { 4 years } { the calm }
Kyiera yawned as she came to her senses. She was still sleepy, but if she slept any longer then she would've been really hard to wake up. Getting up, she stretched and allowed her muscles to awaken - if she strained something while running, she'd slow the pack down, and she didn't want that. Looking around, she spotted her beta next to Chaser and found Lyall watching over them. Since she didn't have anything better to do, she trotted up to the male hunter and began conversing with him, just to pass the time.

Randir
{ hunter } { brute } { 5.5 years } { the cautious }
Randir quickly chased down two more hares, putting them in a pile, before calling the others back to him. "We shouldn't exhaust the kill here - if we don't leave enough, then they won't be able to reproduce, and we'd run out of food," he told them before picking up his catch and trotting back in the pack's general direction.

Chaser
{ fighter } { brute } { 8 years } { the sarcastic }
The old wolf jolted awake when he felt warmth near him. Frantic, he looked around before suddenly spotting Ruelle some ways away from him. Immediately, he relaxed - it was just the beta, he told himself. Sighing, he resumed his nap and hoped that he wouldn't be woken up until they really had to move.
