Altair looked up at the simple command. Something that was supposed to be called upon from the Crown’s Claw, not the Crown themself but alas…. The monochrome colored feline got to their paws and looked around for Cosmo and… what was the other name? It wasn’t like her to be forgetful but to be fair she was only have listening.

Doesn’t matter, as soon as the two of them arrive, Altair was leading them out of the family home and into hunting territory. They could try where the water cats were staying. Both as a means of keeping Altair’s paranoia around it in check and because if they left anything behind any kind of prey would be sniffing it out. The feline led in that general direction with a word to her companions.

Cosmo looked up as his name was called alongside two others. Okay. He stood to his paws, tail flicking behind him as he went to find the other two patrol members. He walked up to Altair, dipping their head at the feline.

Useless, that was what she decided to name that cat that was supposed to accompany her and Cosmo and decided to not show. Refusing to waste anymore time than she already had, Altair turned to Cosmo as they made their way through the territory. "A simple flush and ambush should work fine, yes? I'll locate any prey, frighten it from its hiding place, while you prepare to catch it." She explained, speeding up with a flick of her tail.

This season was the worst when it came to hunting and trapping anything, but recently she did collect plants to set up as bait.. which they could fall back on because the rivercat place was too far now that they have wasted so much time waiting for Useless to show up. The monochrome feline motioned for Cosmo to stop and went ahead, making a wide circle to come up on the other side of the baits she set up. Her ears flicked, the sound of some creature ahead was clear.

It was a pair of mice, scurrying over each other as the two scrawny things fought over the reeds of flowers. They both seemed to have gotten the bad luck this season. Altair sprung from the underbrush, landing on one mouse as the other shrieked and ran off towards where Altair left Cosmo. Hopefully the other feline would be ready.

Cosmo sniffed with disdain at the lack of the other feline. He turned to Altair, listening to her speak with perked ears. "Yes, alright. That'll be fine." He said, nodding.

The tom followed after the trapper, tail whisking behind him. He tasted the air, looking towards Altair. Mice. And she noticed. He stopped, watching the feline walk ahead. He waited, muscles tense as he waited for the mice to scurry towards him. Or. One mouse. His ears instinctively fell back hearing the small shriek of the rodent. Cosmo darted forward, catching the mouse in between his paws, delivering a swift bite. He stood, the scrawny rodent hanging from his jaw.
