Galactic listened intently as Paige explained how to hunt. It seemed that he was rather at a disadvantage - prey could hear, see, and smell, while he could only hear. So he would have to learn how those senses work, so as to avoid them. If he was to hunt, how would he know if he could be seen? If he could be smelled? He would have to learn how to avoid those senses.

"That makes sense," he hummed thoughtfully. Something told him this would be a lot of trial and error, and he would fail more than he succeeded. But he had to learn, if he wanted to survive.

"I understand, I will try not to crash into anything. It seems that I will have to learn a lot to get by."

@Paige

"I did." he acquiesced and then, he was sure to thank her. "Thank you."

And, yes, he had heard something. What it was, he didn't know. But there was a throbbing heart not terribly far from them, and he did as she said. Carefully, he began to sneak towards the sound, walking carefully on his talons.

He didn't yet know if he was an omnivore, or a carnivore. But hopefully, he would soon find out.

Before long, he wasn't too far from... whatever it was. He had stumbled on rocks a few times, but luckily he had managed to make it.

The young owl tilted his head from side to side, listening to Paige as she spoke. He moved a few steps to his left to avoid the building that she said was in his way - whatever a building was - before following the sound. He found he was able to listen both to Paige and the noise by tilting his head.

The thing moved towards him, and he went still. And then he struck, lunging forward and grabbing the cavemouse in his talons, driving his beak into the back of its skull, severing its spine.

@Paige

There was a pleasing give as the cave mouse's skull cracked, shattering alongside its spine. At least, he thought it was its skull. After all, he couldn't really see to make sure that was what he had struck.

However, Paige was quick to reassure that he had, indeed, caught it. He leaned into the fluff of her tail, smiling the best an owl could at her praise. "Would you like some?" he offered, after setting the corpse on the ground.

@Paige

The owl tilted his head, 'looking' at where he thought Paige might be. He was probably staring over her shoulder, but it was close enough.

"Alright," he inclined his head. He reached out with his talons until he felt the mouse, then lowered his head to grab it by the head. Instinct drove him to tilt his head back, gulping down the mouse whole.

Once he had swallowed it, he 'looked' at Paige. "Thank you for helping me."
