Kerash: *lowers her head as she notices an adult with a slight limp to its gait. Soon enough, she lifts her head before emitting a series of sharp clicks, communicating the the sub-leader on the other side which target she’s picked out. She then lowers herself to the ground and waits for a striking opportunity. Once the herd is spread out, she releases a high-pitched chirp before charging out of the bushes to start the initial attack. Meanwhile, the sub-leader prepares to flank the kill*
Deizano: *stays very still and silent until the signal is given, and then he breaks into a rushed bounding run with the rest of the pack, even partially shoving through it in an attempt to secure a spot in the feeding once the prey has been brought down. Once close enough, he waits for the older raptors to begin jumping on the kill before he joins in on bringing it down*
Kerash: *dashes in to snap at the herbivore’s rear legs while the rest of her group work on panicking the rest of the herd to spread them away from the prey. Kerash’s actions have the desired effect of scaring the creatures straight into the flanking team*
Deizano: *follows the flanking team and tries to swing wide with them, wanting to help close in the gap and take down the prey. He wags his tail in his excitement, very hungry and eager to eat now*
Kerash: *leaps up into the air once she’s certain that their prey is properly isolated from the rest of the heard. Using her toe claws to gorge into the herbivore’s flank as she climbs over him, she makes her way to its neck. She then twists about and tries to bite out its jugular*
Deizano: *moves in with the rest of the pack, helping to seize and take down the herbivore, biting his jaws into the nearest reachable hunk of flesh he can manage. He struggles, using his entire bodyweight to help keep the monstrosity pinned down as he fights it’s pointless struggle to be free, adding to its already fatal injuries by kicking at it himself*
Kerash: *twists about as the quadroped begins to topple over, threatening to squash her with its weight. Leaving a large gouge in its throat as she leaps and twists, she deftly dislodges herself from the creature just in time. She then sniffs the area to make certain that their kill is secure* Take it back to the hatchery.
Deizano: *is still kicking at the beast, cantering out of the way immediately when it falls down. Once it’s stopped moving, he bounds back in to the spot he was attacking, then begins to knaw at it with his teeth, hungry and wanting to eat*
Kerash: *hisses as she notices that the young raptor is already trying to nip at the fallen kill. She then leaps at him and hisses* We bring this to the nest. The younglings need food more than we do. *leans down to snort into Deizano’s face* Do not eat before them.
Deizano: *makes an aggrivated sound and backs up, feathers ruffled* Enough for everyone! Look at kill – look at it! Is big, is big! Enough for everybody – entire tribe. *stomps on his feet* Elder eats first. Then lower ranks. Scraps are for younglings. *snorts*
Kerash: That is not how we work and you know that. You are not that long out of the nest, we often brought food for you to have first and foremost. The youths are our future, we do not let them starve. *she bobs her head at the larger members of the pack* Begin moving it.
Deizano: *growls* Scraps! Nothing but scraps… *itches himself, huffing as he wanders away from her* The Elders, then the highers, then the lowers, then the hatchlings. *chirps angrily* Scraps, scraps, scraps again… *puts his head down and begins to follow the rest of the herd(
Kerash: *shakes her head at the rant from the youngster. She then snorts and moves to escort her pack back to the nesting sites. As they return, a second hunting team that was led by her father return as well with an even larger kill*
Deizano: *follows the rest of the pack, his head lowered, sad. His stomach audibly growls and he looks up at the kill as it is escorted back, snorting at it shortly after* Work, work, work… scraps, scraps, scraps. *chomps at the air angrily*
Kerash: *leaves the kill that she and her group had acquired in the midst of the largest set of hatchling clutches. She then trots over to her father’s kill and bobs her head at him. Soon after, the hierarchs of the tribe begin to feast on the larger kill while the hatchlings are fed from the smaller kill*
Deizano: *skulks away in frustration, more or less positive that he would be hissed away from either kill right now. He skitters away to the outskirts of the tribal grounds, then begins to sniff for other prey to eat*
Kerash: *happily takes her fill of the larger kill during the next few minutes. After she is done eating, she tears away a large hunk of flesh and heads over toward Deizano. Dropping the meat in front of him, she grunts* You did well today. *with that, she turns around to return to her father’s side*
Deizano: *raises his feather comb initially as Kerash comes near. When she drops the meat in front of him, he makes a hatchling-like squeak and promptly snaps the meat up in his teeth, making muffled appreciative clicks at her as she walks away. With that, he begins to happily raze and chew the meal with his teeth*
Kerash: *lifts her head at the sounds of Deizano’s chirps. She then releases a very faint laugh* Youths.
Deizano: *raises his head at Kerash’s comment, raising his feather-comb also. Since he is being watched, he begins trying to impress and stomps around his share of the kill, walking away from it before suddenly leaping to strike onto it, stabbing and clawing at it with his toes. He then bites into it and continues to eat*
Kerash: *turns her head to watch Deizano for a bit. She then stands to the side and waits for him to finish eating. Once he is done, she moves closer to him once more and states out in a commanding tone* Follow me. I have a task for you.
Deizano: Ri–rrrr…? *shakes himself off and licks his chops before wandering towards her, sniffing cautiously. He blinks, seeming confused before finally approaching her, cocking his head to one side* Task? Name it, I do it. *bobs his head*
Kerash: Good. *She twitches the very tip of her tail then begins heading toward the underground base where the dragons live. After traveling down quite a bit, she stops in front of the room where the human who has not yet been named Jenna is being cared for* This one was injured earlier today. I need someone to watch over her and protect her as she heals.
Deizano: *keeps his head low and slightly submissive as he follows Kerash down into the underground. He keeps a brisk pace to the left and behind her, but makes no effort to overtake or walk beside her as such could indicate equalness or superiority perceptions to the older raptor* I do it. *nods his head, then clicks his jaws* I do good. *wanders over to the girl and sniffs her* No-scale.
