Talking with Namid had helped a lot more than he expected. In the process of their conversation he had figured out what he needed to do so that he could get better. His focus for the time being would have to be on Des and coping with her disappearance before he could worry about his feelings for Moonshadow. She had Tagg now so he felt she would have him to keep her too busy to worry about him. While it bothered him some he knew that was the way of things and as long as she was happy...Well that was all that mattered. He could live with the decision he'd made and now it was time to forget it all for a time.

Namid had offered a hunt and he wouldn't turn her down. With his new outlook on his situation he felt more like going hunting then be had for some time now. His tail swished behind him at the prospect of a hunt with his alpha, “Would you like to take the lead?” He asked her in case she wanted to. If not he was perfectly fine doing so but wanted to give her the chance. “Perhaps you can teach me a thing or two?” He mildly jested with a raised brow. He was also serious too, she might know a technique or something he didn't already know and he was always willing to learn from others to better himself.

Having been so down for what seemed like such a long time Kajika wanted to enjoy this time he had of feeling even a little better. It was a reminder that things weren't bad all of the time and that they would get better in the end. Even though there was still so much he had left to work through a hunt would take his mind off things for a little while ago least. Perhaps having that small amount of time away from it all could help in giving him a different perspective along with Namid's advice. He planned to take her advice and tell Moonshadow but this wasn't the day, hunting with his alpha was what he thought he needed.

He had offered for her to take the lead if she wanted but it seemed that she had something else in mind as she offered they go as partners. A rare smile did cross his maw at that suggestion, “I think that's a better idea,” he agreed. While he had been on his own before joining the cove and had his own techniques for catching each prey he had suggested that Namid could teach him something. They each had their own life experiences that had taught them different things. He nodded as she suggested a technique she'd used when she was going on prairie dogs. “I would love for you to show me a new technique for rabbits,” he told her smiling, “Shall we get started then?” He asked before turning to head into the forest.

They would be hunting rabbits together as partners, Kajika was looking forward to it and the technique she had offered to show him. They took off through the forest in search of their prey side by side.just when it looked like they might not find what they were looking for the scent came to him as he was sure it has to her as well. He moved with her to follow the trail that would lead them to their quarry and hopefully some prizes to add to the cache. Concentrating on the hunt and what needed to be done was already working to take his mind off things. He didn't want any of those thoughts to get in the way of their hunt.

When they had come into a good distance from the burrow Namid stopped as did Kajika, he listened as she explained the Technique to him. As it turned out it was one he'd never been shown not had he thought of it on his own. It sounded easy enough and a way that multiple rabbits could he caught by each of them. His gaze turned toward the burrow in order to visualize what Namid was describing to him before going back to meet her gaze once more before she too looked to the burrow. Her question was met with a smile, “Of course, I most certainly would,” he replied enthusiastically matching her tone. Which was something he hadn't really felt in awhile and it felt rather good. “Shall we get into position?”

In some ways Kajika liked being the student for once even though he did enjoy his role as teacher, helping others to better their skills. He never imagined when he left his birth pack that he would be where he was in his accomplishments. If he felt his father was in his right mind he felt he would be proud of what his son had done with his life. Listening to Namid and doing as she instructed allowed him to get lost in the lesson and task they were performing. It gave him the chance to get away from his thoughts for just a little while allowing him to feel more like himself.

When it was time for them to get into position to catch the rabbits Namid took the place over the den which left Kajika out in front. He prepared himself for what his job in this hunt was as he moved to a place in front of the burrow. Once he was a few paces, what he felt was a good distance, from the burrow he turned and face Namid. He took a deep breath before nodding to her that he was ready to catch whatever was going to come out of the den when she did her part. Now that he was seeing it all in action he felt it pretty simple, the hardest part being that of catching the rabbits as they came running out thinking they were safe.
