"Not all the lessons, but at least some must apply to her."

“Name one.” Pain started to enter her tone.

"Intelligence gathering and reconnaissance skills, hunting, and accumulation of wealth. Just because I don't follow Zarthia, doesn't make most of her lessons less applicable."

She thought for a couple seconds and nodded.

"I want you to shift into a human and act differently than you normally would. We'll head to a clearing. I'll teach her how to hide and observe. You'll probably be able to hear us, but don't acknowledge us unless you see us."

"The one a couple minutes from here. Where we were taught how to hunt."

He nods and flies off, "I'll meet you there."

"Where's he going?" Divine asks

She flew in the same direction Revi had gone in, and they landed about 200 ft from the clearing.

"Revi is that way, but he's going to act like he's a different person," she explained as she shifted. "You need to find a place to hide and observe him. Tell me the kind of person you think he's acting like. Don't worry about being quiet, but do your best to not be seen."

Divine nodded and slid off Vellelu's back. She started creeping in the direction Vellelu had indicated. It wasn't the quietest thing you've ever seen, but it also wasn't loud.

She followed, crouching close to the ground. She watched Divine.

She hid behind a tree and peeked out behind it, she could barely see Revi and couldn't quite make out what he was doing

"Okay, you're well hidden, but you can barely see him and you can't hear him. You won't gain any information from so far away."

[IcedOutPenguin He/Him]

Just now, Spark of Hope said:

"Okay, you're well hidden, but you can barely see him and you can't hear him. You won't gain any information from so far away."

"So what do I do? If I move, he'll see me."

"Find shadows, and stay low to the ground. If you can get into a bush they're usually decent places to hide, especially in summer. Do what you can not to move branches, and move slowly. If you approach a space when there's no cover, move quickly, but only long enough to get to closer cover."

She nods. and tries her best to move in the shade of the tree to the next tree over, she tries to stay as close to the ground while staying mobile.
