Rakaerum: *watches Kerash go with a mild air of relief, finding the larger creature intimidating. Once on her own again, she shuffles through the medical area over the course of the next few hours, wanting to keep an eye on the girl as per Kerash’s request, but also tries to keep out of the way. Thus she would do a lot of nervous shifting about as she sidesteps from the larger inhabitants of the area*
*Thanks to the pressure that Kerash had put on the staff earlier, the human girl gets speedy enough assistance such that she does not die. For the first few hours, the staff concentrates on removing the problematic gloves as well as bandaging up her arms. However, they cannot do much as far as any form of blood infusions. So, the girl is given a few pain killers then left on a bed to rest up for the time being*
Rakaerum: *just keeps out of the way over the next few hours, sidestepping away from some of the more problematic troublemakers. She sits her butt down next to the small human’s bedside, then curls up on the floor, lightly snoozing, wanting to keep a watch on her as Kerash instructed her to. She would not budge for a long time*
Kerash: *shakes herself off as she exits the catacombs of the main center of Halcyon. She then narrows her eyes in irritation as she looks about the area. For the most part, she is extremely aggitated that her charge was injured. However, she chooses to deal with her duty first and foremost. So, she trots over to the training fields where her elderly sire is looking over his elite squad of defenders. She then bobs her head as a form of greeting before taking her side next to him* Kerash, reporting for duty.
Deizano: *not too far away is a new-recruit mid-sized raptor covered in a layer of dappled feathers, evidence of his baby down still underneath, indicating that he is onlt halfway through his maturation growth into adulthood now. He is supposed to be paying attention to the training exercise at hand, but is currently distracted with snipping his jaws at rodents in the ground. He jams his scythe toe claws into some of the holes and makes loud chirping excited sounds, chattering his teeth and fanning up his feathery head-comb in excitement*
Larshrakeh: *turns his head to look at his favored offspring. He then bobs his head in response* A bit on the late side today, daughter. Try not to let that happen again. *he then turns his head to look at the rest of the group* Straighten up, slackers. We are to work in unity as a group, not as a bunch of under-evolved dogs.
Kerash: *straightens up and looks at the group. She then narrows her eyes as she spots Deizano. Growling, she storms into the field then stomps her left paw down on the mouse that had been occupying his attention with speed and accuracy*
Deizano: *utterly ignores his superior’s orders for now, intent on killing the rodent for a snack. He tilts his head to one side, peering down the hole with a slitted eye, grumbling to himself as he tries to work out where it went. When Kerash approaches he steps back out of her way and lowers his head in a partially submissive gesture. He flattens his feather comb in dissapointment as Kerash stands on his ‘prey’. He then lowers his head and tries to lick at her toes, wanting to eat the crushed rodent underneath*
Kerash: *curls her lips up in distaste as the smaller raptor continues to try to go after the mouse. She then suddenly lunges forward and slams him into the ground* Little one, we do not function in a selfish way. Continue to search only for food for yourself, and we will make you our meal. *She sets her left forepaw on the back of his head before slamming his head into the ground, trying to temporarily burry his snout in the dirt*
Deizano: *makes a loud squeaking sound and immediately goes limp as he is smacked down, not wanting to have his neck broken. He pulls his feathers up tightly against his body and closes his eyes, choking as dirt particles go up his nose*
Kerash: *keeps her grip on the back of the young one’s head for another moment before getting off of him* Now, get back in line. Pay attention to the drills, or you shall not eat at all for a week. Is that understood? *she looks about at the others, trying to determine if there are any other trouble-makers in the group of new recruits*
Deizano: *continues to make his pathetic squeaking sounds, just keeping his body limp for the time being, wanting to avoid injury. He does make a brief nod however, and lightly scratches his back feet in the soil, indicating that he wants to stand up again. Once Kerash gets off him, he springs to his feet and quickly shakes himself off, sending a shower of dust into the air. He stands at attention once again and remains that way until he begins scratching at his side, glaring hard at it. After another moment he begins knawing at his side with his teeth, seeming aggitated and angry*
Kerash: *had turned her attention to the rest of the pack to examine their techniques. However, she pauses as she hears the ruckus from Deizano’s location. Soon enough, she whips back around then charges at him. Slamming him back into a tree, she hisses* Some one here requires a lesson in discipline.
Deizano: *screeches in panic as he is slammed into a tree, crying out in pain as his body strikes into it. He becomes completely limp and flattens his feathery fuzz against himself as much as he can, not getting up after the experience*
Kerash: *stalks over to the younger raptor. She then begins to click her claws against the ground as she examines him* Are you going to continue to waste time with the games that are meant for the nests? If you are here to actually train under our ranks, you must pay attention. *with her last words, she leans in to snap her jaws in front of Deizano’s face*
Deizano: *just plays the overly submissive card for right now. He keeps his furry body squashed against the ground, not moving as Kerash snaps at him. He almost seems to be waiting for her to leave before he gets to his feet again*
Kerash: *snorts in Deizano’s face once more* Do not let me catch you slacking off again. If I do, I will send you back into the rookery grounds. *with that, she swishes around before heading to her father’s side so that she can continue to oversee the rest of the group with him*
Deizano: *puffs out his feathers slightly, but responds with a chirp. He shakes himself off and bounds back over to the group, though almost immediately seems bored of the situation all over again*
Kerash: *keeps an eye on the group for another hour or so, watching as they practice their coordination. From time to time, she’ll walk in between the lines and comment on the posture and positions of some of the training raptors. Finally, her father calls for an end to the practice routine. He then asks for Kerash to select a group to take out for a hunt. Soon enough, Kerash moves through the ranks, She picks a large number of the most skilled hunters in the group; however, she also picks a few of the less skilled ones so that they can learn. Eventually, she stops in front of Delzano* You, come with us.
Deizano: *stays through the lesson, trying to learn whatever he can through his boredom and short attention span. When Kerash nears him again, he adopts his flattened low submissive posture, not moving when she instructs him to come with the group that has been selected*
Kerash: *taps her right big-toe claw against the ground in an impatient manner as she waits for Deizano to move. After a few minutes of this, she finally snaps out at the young raptor* Did you not hear me? You are going with us. Get moving. *with that, she nips at his tail in order to give him incentive to move*
Deizano: *stomps his feet in an aggressive manner, trying to indicate that he woudl rather stay put. He becomes aggitated enough to fluff up his neck feathers and makes a loud aggrressive rilling sound when Kerash bites his tail. He locks his attention on her, wild eyes narrowing in their sockets as he clicks his toe claws on the ground. He is sizing her up for a fight, but in reality he knows he is the smaller less-dominant raptor and he would come off second best. He finally makes a frustrated squeak and bobs his head in the same submissive manner he’d adopted before, before he bounds after the rest of the group*
Kerash: *Snorts at the display that the little one had just put up. However, she doesn’t berate him further, for she knows that he still has his hatchling feathers. So, instead, she moves to the head of the pack. After giving the pack a last check to insure that all are in the ready, she begins heading off toward the hunting grounds*
Deizano: *now that he is out of Kerash’s direct attention, he calms down considerably. With an abrupt shake of his head, he is rather quick to skitter off to the edges of the pack, trying to blend in with the rest of the group. When the pack begins to move, he rather energetically runs off with it, very eager to burn some excess energy and help his packmates in the hunt*
Kerash: *pauses as she reaches the area just outside of the hunting fields that her clan prefers to use. After spending a moment sniffing the ground and air, she lifts up her right hand and begins signaling for half of the group to split off and circle to around the clearing while the rest remains with her. She then stealths into a nearby patch of ferns so that she can eye off the feasting herd in the clearing ahead*
Deizano: *keeps his attention on the rest of the pack, staying to the back of it to stay out of the larger raptor’s bullying and hierarchy. He eyes off Kerash and raises his head, mimicking her movements and actions, before following half of the pack away for the split. He follows them around the clearing, paying close attention to the herd they are about to prey on, wanting to find out which particular herd-member they are going to select and prey on*
