Quiet Hail suppressed her shivering as she listened to Ares’s instructions, nodding obediently. As she began to turn to usher any young she found, she paused. The prey pile…if they didn’t add to it they would all starve. But if the keepers all abandoned their given task to help with other things, the future of the tribe would perish in the cold. Still, had been a gifted hunter before grief and loss forced her to retire. Though she was still reluctant, Quiet Hail turned from her task and trotted smoothly over to Ares.

“I can help hunt.” She mewed simply. It was an offer, she knew both tasks before her were important, so she would allow Ares to decide where to put her to use. Her heterochromatic gaze steadily held his, patiently awaiting a verdict. I am a keeper now, so if he sends me away to do that then I will. But she thought she could at least offer.

A blizzard? Is that what this awfulness is? The little brown cat did not need to wait for a keeper to usher her, she stumbled into the back of the cave she called her den. Curling up into a tight ball when she reached the back.

Blood was getting scrawnier by the day, and the weather sure didn't help. Grrr, you hate me now, huh? He asked unconsciously to the sky, completely covered in gray clouds and little flakes falling everywhere. He shook his short pelt, and a violent trembling started for a moment. "Gah, get yourself together, old cat." He ordered to himself, half sneezing in between.

"ATARI." Ares' powerful voice sounded from behind his cave wall, and beyond the whole clearing. "Time for a' meeting, I see." He commented grumpily, but still raised himself up and padded up to The Crown.
Blood nodded a greeting to him, then turned his gaze to the tribe in search of his lazy apprentice. "Huh, I knew that girl was bound to be a problem."

Finally, a good idea from the high spheres! "Everyone! Leave the little prey to the young and the elders, and make SURE you keep every little feather, fur, and skin with you! Keep it close to yourself and the weakest, if you don't want them dead by the morning." He urged with a squawking voice that maybe hid the worry he felt deep inside.

He was pretty sure that going out with this weather would be trouble instead of help, and that no prey would be found, but he didn't feel like complaining about the Crown's choice right now. Something else picked his interest as he made his way toward Ares.
"A... fox, yes. I noticed it earlier." And would've taken it anyway, heheh.

"That's no problem, Ares. I'm gonna make a clean work with that. Make sure all the flesh goes to the little ones first, alrightcha?" He winked and immediately bit into the predator's tail to drag him inside his cave, finally far from the snow that sank into his pelt and into his bones.

"Oh." He stopped to throw a very innocent warning at the Crown. "If you see Camilla, tell her it wouldn't be bad if she went to me for her first lesson, alright?" He blinked, then quickly retired to his den with the soft prize. Mhh, that lad isn't going anywhere if ya ask me. But he kept the thought to himself.
