Deimos had some luck as well, it looked like, and Jigano pulsed a return feeling of pride that they'd each managed something for their trouble. The woods had not been kind to them today, but at least they weren't as empty-handed as he'd feared they'd be earlier. Two deer was respectable, and Rance's pheasant was an admirable addition given his size versus his prey's. Jigano finally managed to get the doe pulled fully into the cart and stepped back, shaking his scaled head and spitting out fur even as he shifted back to his more demure fox form.
It was easier in that form to give Deimos a narrow-eyed gaze at hearing that Sunjata had 'left.' He might not have been able to focus on the details of the pain and emotions coming through the Attuned bond earlier, but something had clearly happened. Given Deimos's cryptic comment from the start of the hunt he had a guess as to what...
But no proof. Which suited him just fine, at the moment.
Oliver's appearance, empty-pawed and sullen, might have earned an eyebrow in the bard's human form. He had thought his own luck had been bad, but it appeared that Oliver's had been worse. You don't need to apologize, he said instead, opting for tact, as he kept his tone gentle. Hunting takes practice. Each form has its nuances, too, and what works in one may not in another. We can wash up in a stream on the way back to town and get any injuries tended to once I can see them all. That went for Deimos and Rance as well, of course. At least, being all Outlanders, no one would mind the use of Healing magic to soothe their hurts after the day's struggles.
