Ah, that makes sense, Jigano agreed. Not everyone needed to be a hunter, after all, especially if they spent as much time in their human forms as they did in their animal ones. Did they eat meat in their human forms? Or if they were plant eaters as animals did they stick with plant foods as humans?
Isuma was still wary of Aisha, but she was far less afraid of the woman in her leopard form, not associating the feline with the boot that had kicked her. She stayed close to the pair, though she was easily distracted by falling leaves and late-season beetles flitting through the underbrush.
Jigano wasn't expecting the teasing lunge, but he shifted away at the sudden movement, gracefully keeping them the same distance apart as if they were dancing, a laugh startled from him as she teased him and he spun on his hind paws to face her and prance backwards for a few steps. Ah, but how many did you catch? he teased back, wriggling his haunches as if he was preparing to pounce on her in return. When he almost tripped over a branch he was forced to turn around however, even as they came to the edge of the Woodlands and the Fields opened up before them. We're almost home now!
