Kei knelt down next to Aniis, examining the animal tracks as well. "It looks like a pretty big animal made these tracks. Well, if not big, then it has to be long-legged..." the brunette observed, fingertips brushing lightly over the dusty surface of the ground. "See? Whatever it is, it's got a pretty long stride... You sure you want to catch it before heading back?"
Frankly, if she and Aniis did go off and try to catch this animal, it was going to be Kei's first real hunt. She'd hunted only small animals up to this point, usually because that was enough for her. But they were hunting for a group now, and quantity was definitely one of the aspects affected.
Rathke pushed away a particularly stubborn branch and stepped out of the forest and into the clearing where Nektaro waited. The silver-haired lycan toted quite a bundle of firewood while Roren - who fell in step beside his partner - carried a smaller, though still impressive bundle. Rathke was of the mind that they'd be able to use the extra timber for something else aside from fire.
Soon, he and Roren set their burdens on the ground and sat down, too. "So... no sign of the girls yet, huh?"

No sooner had Kei taken the fox from Aniis when the other girl suddenly shot off in pursuit of some pheasants. This surprised the half-vampire, but she shrugged it off and started back to the 'campsite'. Only moments later, Aniis caught back up to her.
The brunette sat down, setting the fox on the ground, too. "Uh... I know how to cook, if only a bit..." she replied to Aniis' question. "Of course, it depends on how you want these-" she gestured towards the fox and birds - "to be cooked..."
That was pretty quick... Rathke observed. It couldn't have been more than seven or eight, and the two girls had caught enough to last them until the next day. Well, at least the 'humans' of the group, anyway. Roren may be his pet, but the wolf was still inclined to hunt on his own, with or without the silver-haired lycan.

Kei was finishing draining the young fox of blood by the time Aniis got back. The brunette had also started a small fire in order to lightly roast one of the bigger pheasants.
She wiped away the last traces of blood, then set the now-dead fox on the ground a little way behind her. After she did so, she lay down, using the fox as a pillow. She could still see the sky - and the pre-dawn light that filled it - but was glad of the quite shady area they'd chosen. True, she was only half-vampire, but she was never one to take her chances regarding the effects of sunlight on her.
The pheasant had been roasting for only a few minutes, when Rathke took it out of the fire. He could do with raw food, he could go with cooked. Either way, it didn't really matter, but for today...he had a craving for rare - still cooked, but only a little.
Thankfully, Kei had already de-feathered the thing, so he didn't have any trouble biting into the fowl's flesh.
Then Aniis sat down beside him, almost making him stop what he was doing. Almost. The silver-haired lycan snuck a glance at the halfling's face and saw that she was worried. And she didn't need to tell him why: her vampiric heritage, her fangs, were showing. And they were in the Lycan Kingdom.
Okay, so lycans had fangs, too, but they didn't protrude as much as a vampire's - after said vampire had fed.
Chewing thoughtfully, Rathke prayed to whatever gods governed this kingdom that Nektaro knew what he was doing by bringing them here.
