Territory Terror

"Anything that's nearby. There's something else I want to talk about, too. But not now." He looked around for any sign of game around, ears pricked upright.

They lurked around and found a lone hippo near a small water hole.
Adofo: *whispers* Okay, you take this one. Show daddy what you can do!

Haramu's ears drooped and he swallowed uneasily. That was one big hippo. He dropped into a crouch and slunk towards it, concentrating on the hippo. His eyes searched for any easy-to-grip locations. The belly was soft and easy to tear into if he could get to it. He'd need to get the hippo away from the water, though. Otherwise he risked being pulled under. And he needed to watch out for its jaws. His pawsteps grew more and more uneasy until he stopped just beside it, his shoulders shifting as he rocked on his haunches. Okay. Go! He burst out of the grass and charged straight for the hippo, turning last second to go between him and the water. He slashed at its side to make it turn away from the water.

Adofo watched, impressed at how fast his son had learned. Next thing he knew, The hippo was down on the ground.
Adofo: Wow! Great job son!

[NukasMomentofGlory]

Haramu stepped back from his work, rasping his tongue over his maw. Once he'd gotten the hippo away from the water, he nipped and chewed on its spine until the creature exposed its belly. That's when Haramu took his chance to end the hunt. He shook his head, his mane spiked with mud and blood, and looked back at Adofo. He smiled and pranced around his kill. He brought down a hippo! A smaller one, but still!
"I did it! Let's eat!"

[Adofo]

Adofo: ALRIGHT!!!!
Later the father and son were really enjoying their meal.
Adofo: Son, you know, I'm really proud of you! You took down a hippo! A hippo!!! It took your uncle Simba FOREVER to learn to do that! I tried to teach him but.....your uncle.....not the best learner around!

[NukasMomentofGlory]

Haramu laughed, gnawing on a joint.
"He's pretty good now. You taught him well." Once he finished, he moved to another location to eat, but stopped himself and looked at Adofo. "How old was Uncle Simba before he and Nala, you know, got together?" He gripped more meat, but glanced up at Adofo. "I know you and Christen just got together. But Simba and Nala did, as did their kids..."

[Adofo]

Adofo: Well......when me and your aunt found your uncle, I was eleven, he just turned eleven not too long before and Nala was turning eleven in a few months, so she was ten. But I just.....never really had any feelings towards females for a while. Apparently in human culture at around the age of twenty is when humans really get into those kinds of emotions and get togther. So son, what about you? Have you been bitten by the love bug yet?

Haramu chuckled, looking down at his meat.
"No. Not yet. There's no one in the pride for me. They're all too old or taken, or... just not me." He started playing with his food. "But, I'm weird. I could fall for a hyena or something. I don't even know. I'm just... Just curious for now." He shrugged.

[Adofo]

Adofo: Hahaha! Well if you ever need advice, you can come to your old man! And also you can ask me about anything if you have any questions.
