Tiny listens as the others provide their answers, finishing up his sandwich.
He isn't entirely sure that Bleeds Well caught what he meant by the sandwich offer, but it isn't worth poking him about it. Not while friendship and packship was still soft and undeveloped.
Emily's answer is succinct. It ventures beyond the literal text into the concepts beyond prey and hunt, but she too goes off on the instinctual reminder. He nods though at her conclusion.
<<No apologies for hunt. Like apologize for breathing, equally useless as apology.>>
Tiny grinds his teeth at Bleeds Well. "As easy for an Elodoth to not think as for a wolf to not hunt. There is no such thing as too much thought. I grant you that spirits don't think like us at all. They are forces of the world, things that move and are moved by the growth of a tree or the diversion of a stream. And Father and Mother were both spirits. We have the mind of Men too, something that they did not. Following after Mother and Father is good, and righteous, but we are also children of Men, and utilize this tool." He taps his the side of his head. "That's not to say that you can overthink in the moment. To think and not make a decision is foolhardy. But here we sit in our tur, with filling bellies. This is the time to think, for we may not be able to after for some time."
"As the Alpha says, to hunt means more than just chasing prey. any herd in a helicopter can chase even the fastest deer. Hunting down leads, sniffing for clues, dogging their trail, The Hunt for Truth, these words are chosen because the art of investigating a subject IS a hunt. To answer your question, yes. Lore is like a shattered tree in the forest. Picking up the scattered bark to find what actually happened is certainly a hunt. The prey is the truth, and the clues guide the hunt for it. Even as mundane as looking in a google search is hunting."
He turns to the group, and poses his own question, "Bleeds Well has given his answer, but I am curious for you two. Does an Uratha who forsake his forms and hunts by bare hands, who stalks and snatches the lizards and follows birds to fruit trees forsaking the oath that the Wolf must hunt?"
