the lazy days...

"Good job, sons. Perhaps we should move onto something a little larger." The boys had been able to capture smaller creatures without much difficulty, seeming to understand that one had to trick the animals to be able to catch them. Of course, these creatures could possibly have been distracted by Naniko herself, a larger presence for them to have to keep their eye on, and maybe they were not watching for the littler pups. "I like to hunt for deer the most, though a nice run after a rabbit is welcomed every now and again. You boys are too little to be able to catch deer yet, but soon enough you will be chasing them down alongside your old mom" She said.

She picked up the mouse that Octavius had caught and put it into the pouch on her belt. "We'll save him for later. A midnight snack, perhaps" She said, smiling. "But come along, for now." She started off again and Severus followed her after spitting his frog out, padding through the brush swiftly. "Quiet is very important when it comes to hunting. You must not alert them to your presence...otherwise, they'll be looking for you. You want to catch them in their natural movements. Grazing, searching for food...their minds will be occupied with that, and they will not be expecting a wolf to come along"

The movements of a nearby squirrel caught her attention. The creatures usually stuck to trees and were adept at spotting wolves...but this one seemed to be unaware of their presence. She went down to her hands and knees, watching it. "Squirrels can be difficult. Try to begin the chase in an area that has very little trees in it, because they'll climb out of your reach very quickly once they see you" She advised. Severus seemed unsure of going after the squirrel and sat down in the grass, simply watching it.
