Team Work... Kinda.

Warm wind blew around the savannah, singing in the long, yellow-ish grass, bringing a temporary relief from a blistering heat, burning down on every living creature here, making them wish for a good, cold lake somewhere nearby.
"Are you sure about this? This doesn't seem like a good idea...we are going to get a heat stroke let me tell you..." Younger of the two drawled quietly, throwing a heated glare towards brightly shining sun. It didn't help at all. It didn't even lift his mood.
"What are we even hunting? There is no-one around here. Not a single soul. Only dust, grass, some trees, us and more dust" Only answer Ohm got from the larger male, was lazy glance from the corner of Shamdono's  eye. Though it seemed to tell more than hundreds words. 'Shut up and follow me' would be the best TL;DR.
"Fine... don't talk. Be like that, asshole" Grey male muttered, lips curled slightly towards a snarl, but not quite enough to be called one.

Ohm and Shamdono went a long way back. They grew up together, even though Shamdono was some years older than Ohm. Their friendship was not all flowers and sunshine. No, no you got it all wrong. They fought like old married couple. They grinded each other's gears all the time, sometimes taunting each others, sometimes just looking for a fight, and who would be a better partner for that dance than other as aggressive Ketucari as him. But, maybe, because they spend so much time together, bled together, they somehow still stood together. They were best friends and rivals at the same time, and where one went, the other followed... though Ohm wished he hadn't followed Shamdono this time.
He didn't understand how that charcoal colored male could walk in this sunlight looking that... unbothered. I wasn't natural. Ohm was quite sure he was faking it. He had to be.

After a while, Ohm was about to open his mouth once again, to whine - most probably, but he got interrupted by deep, rumbling voice belonging to his friend slightly ahead of him.
"Can you just shut up...take your eye to your claws and even try." Shamdono didn't stop, just walked a straight line, as if following something that Ohm didn't see. Grey male looked puzzled, staring at the grass and dust filled ground, trying to see something that bigger male saw.
"There is no---" Then he saw something. A single footprint on a dust. Instead of being happy and filled with joy after knowing they weren't just wandering aimlessly, dread filled his veins.
"Tell me you're joking Sham---"  Ohm groaned, knowing that using that old nickname would just annoy other Ketucari.
"We're not going after Feroraptors are we..." A simple though of having to go after those fast raptors in this burning sunlight tired Ohm.
As usual, he didn't get an answer. For once he hoped they are after a Plainstalker. While a dangerous creature, it wouldn't just run away. It would stand and fight, which would be easier in this heat.

Silence stretched, and now even Ohm started to see multiple footprints, newer ones. They were getting closer.
"So... what's the plan... or I hope you have a plan at least" Ohm muttered, walking faster to catch up with Shamdono, who this time graced him with an answer.
"We'll cut the head, the body should follow soon after" Shamdono said quietly, cocking his head. "They are just behind that hill" He continued.
It was their often used tactic. They took down the alpha, the leader first, and only after that they went after the others while the pack was panicking. Chaos usually meant that they would bring back more food, and what would satisfy more than a warm meal.
Ohm fell silent after that. There was no need to speak anymore. They fell in a familiar formation, Shamdono at the front, circling left, while Ohm walked onwards. When he saw Shamdono in the right position, Ohm bounced trough the tall grass, scaring a pack of raptors. He got the alpha quickly, crushing it's delicate neck swiftly, dropping the body then down, blood running down his chest. He went after other raptors then, seeing Shamdono bursting from the grass as well, another raptor fell. But many were a long gone by now, some were still running away, and Ohm knew he wouldn't hear an end of it if he let an easy meal get away so easily.
Cursing in his mind, he went after those agile creatures.

A bit later he came back, with three raptor corpses hanging from his mouth. Ohm was tired. He dragged himself back to where he left, dropping the still warm bodies next to others, where Shamdono has already collected the corpses. Ohm fell down next to them, turning to his back and glaring at the sky, lifting his paw to protect his eyes from the sun. He was panting heavily,  and his eyes felt heavy.
"Oh what I would give for a nice, cold river right now" He moaned, barely listening Sham moving around him.

"Well done" Quiet, dispassionate praise from Ohm's friend warmed his chest, even if he would not admit it aloud.
"Fuck you" He said instead, groaning quietly.
"You dragged me here, you better carry those by yourself" He spat, without real heat behind his words. Ohm saw a slight smile at Sham's lips. Of course this was amusing to him. Freaking sadist.
When finally, after a short rest they chose to start moving again, towards the nearest village, Ohm said;
"I'm getting the alpha" He snagged the biggest raptor from the pile, and started to jog towards the village. Shamdono just looked after the younger male a while, before snorting quietly.
"Idiot" There was warmth and some heavy amusement in his voice. He didn't say a word about carrying a larger amount of food, nor about how he killed more raptors. For once, he just walked after Ohm, feeling how the air was getting a bit more humid. It was going to rain soon.
