[Oh, good. Small game season again at last. San is out with her spear and her hooded mask, prowling the forest near the banks of the river in search of dinner.

This time she didn't feel the need to inform the villagers that more of them were arriving. Chances are much smaller that they will freeze to death, after all.

She'll come into the village

[Sokka himself is out in the woods, out on the prowl for prey. He's currently behind a tree, watching a rabbit near the water bank. His boomerang is already in hand, poised to strike. That is, unless something happens to throw him off. As usual when hunting, his wolf helmet is on, as well as the top part of his armor.]

[forestpride]

[Stalking the same rabbit. She's come up behind its blind spot, and leaps from her position to strike it with the spear]

[Sokka suddenly rounds the corner, prepared to throw his boomerang. He stops himself just in time as San jumps out in front of him. Not waiting to see if she succeeded or not, he frowns and calls out.]

Hey! That one was mine!

[forestpride]

[She didn't see his name on it. Anyway she missed, and the rabbit dashes off into the forest.]

Then go get it.

[markofthewise]

I was going to. [He sighs and lowers his boomerang, shaking his head.]

[forestpride]

You should have been faster.

[markofthewise]

I didn't exactly see you getting it either.

[He walks past her, kneeling where the rabbit was. He takes note of the direction it left in. Hmmm...]

[forestpride]

I might have if it hadn't heard you and run off.

[markofthewise]

Hey, don't blame me! It ran off the moment you jumped out to strike. I was completely silent.

[forestpride]

You think you were silent because you have human hearing.

[markofthewise]

Amazing how you could pick that up with your human-like ears.

[Okay, now he's standing up and slowly following the path the rabbit went on.]

[forestpride]

The rabbit could hear you.

[it doesn't matter whether or not San herself could. And she's tracking it right along with him]

[markofthewise]

[He lowers his voice to a whisper now, but not ready to give up the debate.]

You were closer. It probably was hearing you.

[forestpride]

[No vocal response is necessary to that. He'll scare off the rabbit if it's near. ...But she may have just stepped on his foot.]
