Jimin sat in front one of his sister during mid day close the sun going down. They both had a small bowls of white and grey paint in front of them. They were currently apply each others war paint. Giggling and laughing occasionally when one or the other would mess up or start to look like some silly kind of animal. Like how Jimin gave her whiskers so she looked like or a mouse or how she put black all around his eyes so he looked like a raccoon.
They didn't play for too long though because they actually did have to finish in time for that night's hunt. All of them were paired off in the field in front the cave they currently called home facing each other and helping apply the make up properly. Jimin didn't really now the name of the sister in front of him now, but that was okay they just called each other brother and sister rather than by name anyways. Even though she probably knew his because of the worry he'd caused to tribe the day before.
When the sky started to darken a bit more Jimin leaned in close to her face so the two of them could make sure not to miss any details. They finished relatively at the same time. Moving their heads side to side and up and down to inspect their work of each others faces. His sister seem really pleased with herself at how well she did. Jimin could say he was quite proud of himself too. They went on to help each other get ready with other stuff.
Jimin helped her to properly bind her chest with skins so that she wouldn't experience any discomfort during the hunt. While he did that she started to apply the paint to his chest and her own. They both wore gray, white and black colors on their clothes as well as really short fur shorts and boots to allow for as much mobility and paint coverage as possible. You couldn't properly hunt covered in too much fur. Others around them were dressed similarly.
When they were done getting ready Jimin stood and held his hand out to his sister who took is gratefully pulling herself up. They turned their attention to were one of the more older man in the tribe was standing on a large rock giving a few loud yips to get his families attention. Men and Women walked up surrounding the rock with expectant looks on their faces. The man looked down and smiled at them before beginning his speech.
"Tonight is a glorious night my brothers and sisters!" He shouted getting wide smiles and a yips of excitement back.
"Tonight we hunt like we haven't in a long time! Tonight we fight as a family! As one being!" Excitement and excited calls began to rises as he hyped them all up for the hunt. Jimin himself was practically bouncing on the balls off his feet ready for the chase.
"We will celebrate our happiness together through food, music, laughs, and dancing!" He said giving a yip himself.
"We will party like we haven't partied in generations!" He said in one final shout before jumping off the rock. Being caught by his siblings and put on the ground before running full speed to the hunting fields. They ran fast, together, and silently through the trees like a wolf pack on a hunt. Weaving their way through the forest over rocks under branches and over ponds grins of joy on their faces. They stopped just before reaching the clearing spacing out as practiced to surround it waiting for the passing migration to come through.
It didn't take long before they spotted them. The creatures were tired and seem to be coming down for a rest. The perfect opportunity to attack. They only really needed three to five to feed the whole tribe until they were stuffed so they didn't really care too much about how they approached this. Even if they completely fucked up they'll still probably have enough for everyone to eat. This wasn't about the catch it was about the bonding experience with family. The rush of all of them working together towards one common goal.
