The moment that the pair had spotted the little fennec fox running nearby they had surely thought they had won the game that their Uncle Kato had presented to them. Amare, for one so young, had a great shot with pelting rocks so it was no surprise when one landed its target. Mosi's launch at the small canine fell short when Edie skittered away allowing the shift to overtake her. To say the pair was surprised was perhaps an understatement. The children gaped at the woman who now stood where their previous target had been. Amare glanced towards Mosi, using his big brother's reaction to gauge his own and know what exactly was going on. Mosi blinked in confusion at first, "You're not a rhino." There was only simple statement in his tone, never one to judge or look down on another. It just wasn't how he was raised, his personality much how Kato's was as a child. "You can hunt with us." Mosi nodded affirmatively before glancing to his brother, motioning for the small boy to follow as Edie darted off.

The pair followed on Edie's heels, pressing further out from the village than they would have alone. Only Mosi gave a slight pause at one point to glance from a large tree, back to the horizon where the village was barely visible, then to Edie once more. It was a quick decision, surely Edie being an adult meant that it had been the correct answer to overstep that invisible boundary that the children had around the village. There was the meerkat colony ahead that would be a lot easier to hunt being closer than waiting for one of the individuals to stray so far outside its own boundary too. Their attention had been so focused on the goal, leading Edie to where they knew there was game they could catch that they too hadn't noticed that they were being followed. Not until it was too late.

Mosi had crouched down to brush his hand against the dry earth, reading the many scratches in the surface to look for a trail to follow. It was then that the rustle behind them caught his attention. Slowly he stood back up and turned around as a large male lion stepped through the brush. His mane was scruffy and his build relatively thin telling of his young age and malnourishment. Unfortunately both those things made for a desperate animal. "..Mosi.." Amare croaked with wide eyes. Mosi's gaze was glued on the animal as it grumbled and stared right back, "Shh." Mosi commanded his brother immediately, not looking away from the feline as he had been taught to. He remained rooted to his spot though the hand at his side motioned for Amare to stay where he was at. Amare squeeked from his spot a few feet from Mosi though he trembled in effort to remain there and not dart to his brother's side. It had been the wrong decision to cross the boundary that not just the children had come to obey but the wild animals too.

It had been the hope that the lion would decide that he wasn't going to bother with them and move on. However, he was just as hungry for meat and the children were such a small easy target to just pass by. The lion would have chosen Mosi for sure as he had been the closest. It was Amare breaking from his spot to dart towards Mosi that switched the lion's attention to the moving target. Mosi let out a shout, lurching towards Amare as the lion launched towards the smallest Buhari. It occurred to the older boy in the back of his mind to question why the adult hadn't used her power yet. Surely Edie should have possessed some capability that could thwart the lion. As it was there was a horrible scene to play out with an equally as horrible result waiting for them at the end.
