With Auri leading them the two found themselves at the tree clump soon enough, though perhaps not as soon as they would have if Darrian was in front. Upon arrival Auri made themselves busy with foraging, taking very little time to find a decent clump of edible mushrooms "You deal with these, make us a camp" they said briskly, having not spoken to him since he patted them on the head, and pushed the freshly harvested caps towards him "Im gonna find us some more" and with that they darted off to search for any signs of animal life, hoping to flesh out the meal with some meat, or if nothing else a few more eggs. Though in all honesty they were more interested in getting some space between Darrian and themselves, he had patted Auri on the head and it had been a long time since they had received any positive human contact and it had them flustered and not entirely sure how to deal with it.
Attempting to ignore all of this unaccustomed confusion Auri focused on the basics. Life was better with food that stayed down they had discovered, and after spending enough time during their travels eating barely edible roots and assorted fungi they were always glad to have something more substantial. It was then that a small movement caught their eye and they turned quickly, spotting a small rabbit tail disappearing amongst the bushes. Auri licked their lips and drew their prized bird skull they used for a mask from under their poncho and placed it ceremoniously on their head, partly for the effect and partly because it worked as a another distraction from the head patting, and then proceeded to edge towards the bush where their prey had vanished. After very slowly and carefully pushing through the bush to make very little noise Auri's beak covered face appeared in a small clearing. A clearing that was housing not one but three rabbits, a veritable feast on legs. Auri chuckled inwardly, not wanting to startle dinner and reached ever so slowly for a vial containing a liquid that both induced sleep and vaporised when exposed to air. Once the dinner were safely unconscious Auri would brain them with a rock, this thought process was almost accompanied with muttering under their breath at the need for a new knife but they held back their intended whisper. Dinner would run if they were startled even the slightest
