What he wasn't expecting was the sight of the dragon. His eyes lifted up in utter awe for the creature, unafraid that she was there. For a moment, he forgot that he was helping to cure and dry meat, and blinked, looking over to Unohana with a small nod.
He seemed dressed for the occasion, for the most part. The blond had his hair tied back tightly, and all he wore was the wrap around cloth--which were low on his hips-- and his sandals. He walked up to the group and bowed formally, seemingly unconcerned with the blood on the ground already creeping towards his feet like living snakes.
"I am here."

As for the other newcomer, he barely gave him a glance. Nothing but an ordinary male human. Nothing spectacular about him, really. Just like the rest of his kind. He then continued to wait for Unohana to be done , so that he can finally put the blasted meat on that place. He had so much, even after giving around 1/4 of it to Yuffie's household. Maybe he overdid it....

"Sesshoumaru-san, this is Kurosaki Ichigo, and this is Hawke-san. Sesshoumaru-san is he one who hunted all of that game."
Of course, then came directions. Unohana was good at directing people.
"Kurosaki-san, would you mind finishing spreading the plastic sheet around ? Hawke-san, I see you have knives, that is great. I brought all those I had, but Yours might be more suited to this. Maybe we can get you started on skinning the animals ?"

He had never, as far as he was aware, touched raw meat, certainly not meat so fresh it seemed to be still steaming. Food preparation had always been his mother's domain, and he had been quite happy to deal only with the finished product, rather than the more unsavoury aspects of the process. He might not be able to be of very much help, he realised.
But that didn't matter. What mattered was that he was here to show willing, to demonstrate his serious and accommodating nature.
He walked up to Unohana, who seemed to be in charge.
"I'm at your service," he said, quietly.

The scent of blood and fresh gore didn't bother him, nor did the blood as it curled up his arms and legs, writhing as he worked to finish skinning and cutting the meat into large, manageble chunks. It was going to be hard work, and there was a lot of meat to go through. Hawke didn't mind the physical exertion, nor the way the blood coated him like paint, giving him the look of some blotchy panther with his kill. Soon enough, others would be directed to help him, and the time would pass by quickly, then.
[[If anyone wants to branch off into another thread with Hawke, he'll be at the 'skinning station,' if you want to put that into the subject field.]]

He looked like a very proper young man, and one who had probably never seen a real dead animal in his life. She very much doubted that anyone had told him how to skin one.
Hawke-san was in his element, and Sesshoumaru-san was ...
"Maybe you'd like to clean up, Sesshoumaru-san ?"
Reply
"The chief objective is to separate the meat from the skin and bones, isn't it?" he asked, of nobody in particular, before turning back to Unohana-san.
"If you can forgive me my inevitable slowness, and badly-cut meat, I will try," he added, beginning to walk over towards the dead animals.

Thankfully this was more than easily doable as a human. Under an arm, he carried an industrial-size container of salt, and at his back, he drug a large canvas bag behind him, where he'd thrown wood for smoking some of the meat. Upon sighting Unohana, he bowed his head respectfully, and removed his hat. "Dai'elle Unohana."
The demon, and the carrot-top both held his interest greatly, but hardly the time or place. Setting down the salt and undoing the straps to the bag, he turned to the others. "Y'all got an idea 'f what we're doin' yet?"

Once he was done, he looked up... and saw the newcomers. It was a normal-looking brown haired guy... who reeked of death? And a reddish-brown haired one with an eyepatch and a really strong aura like Sesshoumaru's... although not up to the taller-looking guy's level.
He gave them an erstwhile wave. "Hey there! Nice of you to join us. Name's Kurosaki Ichigo...." As they would probably have heard already from Unohana.

With Hawke-san, Kurosaki-san and Yagami-san getting started on skinning and carving, things were getting underway.
"I see you brought salt .. we only had a little. If you want to settle down that way, we can keep the fire in that cleared area and do the salting on the plastic. Oh, and this is Sesshoumaru-san, he is the one who hunted the meat. Sesshoumaru-san, please meet Ki'nam-san."

"Unohana-san?" he said, walking over to her and stopping to shudder in disgust as he accidentally stepped in blood. Mouth twitching, he walked on, leaving a perfect imprint of the toes on his right foot as he walked.
"I'm sorry, but I couldn't help overhearing," he said, politely. "But if you have limited amounts of salt, it will stretch further if you use brine, rather than dry salting."
Reply
Unohana pointed at the big container.
"We'll have to see just how much meat we end up with, what we'll do with the organs ... Were there any poisonous beasts among them, Sesshoumaru-san ?"

It was an appalling job. His hands were covered in blood and felt sticky; some of it had sneaked its way up towards his elbow, and some had by mysterious means deposited itself on his chest. He had a dreadful feeling that at some point, he'd absently run a hand through his hair; since the only way of checking would be to touch it, he left it alone, for now.
Biting back a sigh, he resumed the work, hoping someone would think of something else for him to do soon.

The sight... was different, but he noted with some regret that the smell of blood was not such a new thing.
"Unohana," He said when he was within hearing distance, "Sorry about the time. Looks like you're doing well."

He'd worry about proper manners later though, dragging the wood down to where Unohana indicated, removing it from the bag, and piling it in a roughly neat circle to help keep it somewhat managed, he doubted he'd need every speck, but at least it was organized.
Taking some of the smaller branches, he started tying them together with some tough vines he'd snatched off the creeper plants, that was fun. Soon enough, he had the beginnings of a rack to hang meat on started. As for the salt, well, there was no need to take that with him, if the educated-looking human still wanted it, that was their business.

The white haired daiyoukai gave him a tiny nod, an acknowledgment of the considerable power he could feel in said person... which felt draconian. But he didn't comment on it, and was about to go to a lake to remove the blood on his person, when Unohana asked a question.
"No. They did not." Nor would it have mattered. Most poisons were useless against him... unless it was something akin to Magatsuchi's. And then... he went to go take a bath. "This Sesshoumaru shall take his leave in order to remove the blood. Is this Sesshoumaru still needed here, Unohana?"
