Ah, an island. Or something of the sort. It reminded him more so of a beach with a few trees, in the ocean. Was that an isle? He dismissed the fruitless thoughts from his mind just as paws shifted from the shallow waters of the path that had allowed him to cross from the mainland. He had mostly ignored the fascinating coral reefs that surrounded the isle and made up the majority of its solidity. Aquatic ocean life was around him at all angles.

Yet it was the noise and smell of bird that had brought him over. The small black and white beasts that scattered the beachside. The small African penguins would make a delicious snack, and a meal for many if he managed a good quantity of them. The brute crouched behind the thick brush nearest the beach line. His body was low as he coiled on his hind limbs. He gave little thought before he burst forward and attempted to swoop a squeaking critter into his grasp.

And failed.

To amuse himself Hunter was also tracking down prey. But of a very different sort indeed. He had entertained himself by following a lion's tracks, then worked to creep in closer, and closer once the distance shrank. However the wind had brought him the scent of the lake. Now recognizing the smell and noting the distant lion's marks as …farmilar....Hunter discarded his original hunting plans and settled on watching instead.

Was the other going to hunt the birds? Those little swimming birds? Amusement creeping onto his lips Hunter slipped into a stalking stance once more...this time silently slipping into position a little distance off and opposite of his fellow lion. And once the birds were startled and fleeing he cut off their path, Pouncing and easily pinning a couple beneath long clawed forepaws.

One of the pair was likely mortally wounded, but he was careful to leave the other alive for the moment, only pressing it into the sand enough to pin it.
"For such clumsy little things, they can move surprisingly fast even before the water." he addressed the male with a gleam in his eyes and a faint amused if vaguely understanding smile on dark lips.

He cursed beneath his breath as his paws found nothing more than air to swipe. The black and white creatures had just managed to miss his pounce, yet his failure had only created a pristine opportunity for someone else's success. Head jerked to the side s his eyes found the brute that had emerged to take down one and to leave another wounded. Had it been a feline of the female gender, perhaps he would have even smiled.

Instead, his lines pursed together and his eyes narrowed for a moment. A deep inhale would pull the male's scent, the blood, and the undeniable stench of his mother's aroma. It caused his muzzle to visibly wrinkle as he tested and parted through what he found, even as the tension slid away from the features of his facade. "I suppose this is a job best suited for two." He mentioned as he straightened his posture back to a full stand.

The noise of the birds had only moved down the beach, but still in range.

There is a spark in Hunter's gaze, a certain sort of glimmer that fails to dull even when treated to the less than enthused expression from the other male upon seeing him and what he had caught. He is unphazed, perched on the edge of the softest of chuckles for a moment before the silken sound slides out almost whisper soft.

Although the other continued to look very unamused it did seem that tension left his frame, so an escalation from displeasure to violence was unlikely. "Indeed. Slippery little shits. And paranoid." he agreed before lifting his one forepaw and swiftly swatting the still living one at his present companion. If he could catch it before it ran, they would both have one. It was only fair, the other male had provided a proper distraction - even if he had not known he was doing so.
