Iskata was proud of her daughters quick wit and ease at finding out just what was needed to find the solution. She smiled down at her daughter when she answered correctly and Iskata's eyes shone. She knew that she would make a skilled hunter one day, she just needed to practice, just like everyone else had to. "Yes, catch them when their attention is on something else, and creep up quietly, those long ears make it easy to detect the tiniest snap of a twig." She nodded to her daughter, her reply reflecting the answer she'd given and another thing to keep in mind.
Holding the fresh kill in her jaws as she moved back to join her daughter she licked her lips to remove the trace of blood as she placed the rabbit down between them. Shaking the dust from her pelt she laughed softly at Ember's response to her swift return. "Hon' it took seasons of hunting for me to get that fast, once I was just as green to the duties as you. Don't worry about it so much, every once in a while even the best hunters come back with empty bellies." Bending down to take a few washes across her paw with her tongue she paused for a moment, looking up at her daughter with a smile. "Now that we have the food problem taken care of, lets take care of the empty bellies." Dropping her paw back down to earth she curled her tail around her paws and waited for her daughter to decide what they were to do with their meal.
