This would be a worthwhile distraction, she tried to reason as she drew closer to the meeting place. With the misfortune of the raid and the irefutable sense of betrayal she harbored, a chance to rend flesh from muscle and taste the first kill of a hunt was better than allowing herself to continue to sulk in the inviting presence of hers and Saluce's newest charges.
Yes, the she wolf looked forward to this day because it marked the beginning of a slaughter for the sake of preparing for a joyful event; the coming of blessed life into the family of Ichika. She had promised a gathering to celebrate this miraculous bequeath of life and by the will she harnessed, she would see this come to pass and those that attended wouod surely be fed. She blazed the familiar trail with limbs pumping with unbridled enthusiasm, circulating both blood and adrenaline through her veins to prepare her for the strenuous, exciting ordeal that was to unfold. The Nomad could only hope thatbshebwould not experience this wondrous time alone and that her invitation would be heeded by both leads and citizens of the packs alike.
In her company was the able Asad, generously provided by Fatin as another pair of jaws for the killing. Though he was quiet during their travels, his presence spoke more than enough for itself. It spoke of power, of determination, and a carefully concealed excitement covered by a stoic face, but not his brilliant alight eyes. As the pair arrived in the fragrant scented woods, the comfortable chill of the early spring combing through their fur, he came to sit beside the Shepard and same as she, awaited patiently for the hopeful arrival of the hunting party.
OOC goes here.
There was a party! Kiara's puppies were coming, and it made everyone so happy that they had decided to get together and throw a big party to celebrate. Dalgina was sure that Olnayni would love it, her tail wagging wildly at the thought. It was going to be so wonderful to be able to celebrate all together. First though, they had to get food for it. The adults were all gathering together to help get the food for it, and once they had set out Dalgina had begun the task of tracking them, trailing after to help hunt. She might still be young, but she was sure she could help find something nice for Kiara.
Dashing through the woods Dalgina occasionally stopped, her head poking around from whatever was before her to watch X'yrin and the male that walked beside her. She didn't want to be caught and sent home after all, unsure if Mahn would really be happy to have her along at such a thing. Once they started though it would surely be too late. When X'yrin stop Dalgina bounded out, barking loudly to announce her presence. Cheerful as ever she thumped down in front of the leader, happily looking up.

AND I'M HUNGRY LIKE THE WOLF
The Alphess of New Dawn and her escort, the Gamma Shandom Qi’Vaex had arrived in Ichika no Ho-en just in time to set out on the hunt with those party goers that wanted to participate. Titania was still young and honing her hunting craft, and thought it would be prosperous to attend the hunt and observe the tracking and killing methods of those outside of New Dawn. Within her pack they had an intricate system based off of instinct, however each member when alone had their own tip or quirk that she tried to pick up on to better her practice. This hunt would show her how a myriad of allies hunted, and this thought pleased her. She left to attend a party, but may be able to make this trip beneficial for her pack after all. And what if she could return to her Alpha and true love with some special new technique? She dreamed of the day that she went from an “ok” huntress to a fine, talented wolfess.
So, with the party she moved. At first they chattered and jibed as they padded the terrain to the Sugarwoods – the place that Lady X’yrin had chosen for a hunt. She had been here before, but mostly in passing and never to hunt. But once they arrived, the tricolored female fell silent, her golden eyes now watching her peers around her.
It was X’yrin that she was much interested in, too, for she was a fellow leader, and the leader of her peoples’ closest ally, at that. Just a step behind X’yrin, she trotted at the autumn woman’s side. Titania had come a long way over the last few months, so only moments after they entered the Sugarwoods she found herself acutely in tune with the forest. These trees… they were different than those in New Dawn… and there was an intriguingly sweet scent in the air that wasn’t entirely bad. But aside from that scent, something else was prominent as well; this place was rich with game.
Coming off step with X’yrin, she weaved through a few trees before looping back around to the High Shepard and her cohort. At first it was nearly overwhelming, the scents, and Titania wasn’t sure she would be able to single out a specific animal on strange lands – though she could at home – but luckily, this wasn’t the case.
“If you loop around there,” she said, nodding toward where she had come from. “There are droppings and a foliage trail. Not sure from what; deer maybe. Didn’t look too big.” Although she was the Alphess of New Dawn, in these strange lands she respected her friend X’yrin as the same station as her. She wanted to see how these people worked, so if they didn’t choose to follow the trail she may have found, she would wait and see what they did choose.
