Firepaw flinches again when Laios makes impact, although it is exciting to watch. He hasn't been able to convince anyone else to hunt with him, so there's something satisfying about getting a front-row seat to something that feels somewhat unique to his old life. Even if the danger signals from watching a dog hunt are going to take a while to get used to.

But he bounds over once Laios seems to have calmed back down, tail held high and twitching eagerly at the tip.

"That was great!" He cheers, "You looked like a natural out there. How does it taste?"

"You really think so?" Laios asks, ears perking up almost immediately. That's certainly high praise, and from an actual hunter no less. It's almost too hard to fully contain himself at the mere thought, but somehow he manages to channel it all into wagging his tail, which somehow seems to be going even faster than before. Then, all at once, his eyes grow wide at the sudden realization.

"—oh! I got so caught up in the moment, I didn't even think about that!" His ears go flat in slight embarrassment; that is one of the main reasons they're here, after all. Still, he licks his lips slowly, savoring whatever remnants might have gotten stuck in his teeth. "It's... tangy! Maybe even a little sour, but not in a bad way."

"The breast should have an even richer flavor, though." As he says this, he flips over the Ducklett onto its back with his paw, but he seems hesitant to dig right in first. In the dungeon, this would be where the prep work started, a crucial step for any human now rendered unnecessary to a dog and cat. "Do you want to try a bite?"
