But for the most part, his technique was good, and it managed to work for him every time. Most of the kids with him were much younger, a great amount of them being from the Athena cabin. They were smart ones, always looking to learn.<br/><br/>"Trails like this are a good sign that any animal running passed here will have to come through this area. It has natural cover, so most animals will generally pick it as the place to run though. Now, that's the perfect place to put a noose without bait." He explained, carefully tying knots to a branch and then leaving the noose in the trail. "You're gonna wanna cover the noose with leaves and branches, help hide the trap. Animals may not look it, but they have some real smarts, especially when there's no bait in it for them." He said, displaying the newly made trap. "And then when an animal runs through it..." He yanked on the noose with his wrist around it, demonstrating how it tightened around his wrist.<br/><br/>Some signs of interest asserted from some of the children. Some of the others looked uncertain, as though the thought of a rabbit's neck taking the place of Sparrow's wrist was in their mind. He didn't blame them, killing animals wasn't exactly the most glamorous thing in the world. "Are there any-" Sparrow began, but was cut off by a different voice, or rather, a whistle from deeper in the woods. "That's enough for this morning. We'll round up again for another lesson sometime next week probably. I'll let everyone know." Sparrow said, most kids leaving with a nod, some with a smile. One little girl even thanked him and smiled before heading off. Now that was a thought that made him uncertain. A little girl that was more than happy to hunt.<br/><br/>"You know we don't like you using the forest to hunt, Sparrow." A figure said, approaching him. It was a Satyr, one of the ones that brought him here so long ago.<br/><br/>"You have my promise, none of the inhabited areas of the forest are going to be used for hunting. But, I didn't exactly feel comfortable bringing small kids into the deeper parts of the forest just to teach them how to tie a tiny noose."<br/><br/>The Satyr shrugged. "I should bring you to some of the less forgiving nymphs and ask how they feel." He joked.<br/><br/>"I should ask the hunters of Artemis how they'd feel about a no hunting policy." Sparrow returned, in jest.<br/><br/>"You wouldn't get within ten feet of any of them before getting whacked in the head." The two shared a laugh together for a moment, as they both set back into the main areas of the camp. The sunlight was beautiful in the morning, Sparrow for sure enjoyed listening to all the birds sing. "Did you sleep well last night?" The Satyr asked. "You didn't exactly seem pumped up."<br/><br/>"No, I didn't. You know how some of us get though. All flustered up over strange nightmares. Tonight'll be a good one. You comin' for breakfast?" Sparrow asked, almost hopeful.<br/><br/>"Well, see, it was actually the missus that wanted me to get you to stop the class. So. I'm just walking you out for browny points at this point."<br/><br/>"I see." Sparrow said skeptically, as they reached the exit to the forest. "Well have fun. If you say you scared me off, I won't say anything back." Sparrow jested, he'd known the Satyr for some time now, he was comfortable with him.<br/><br/>Seeing not a whole lot of kids around for breakfast, Sparrow was thinking maybe he'd cut lessons just a little too early. Still, most of the kids he'd seen just a while ago were here, and more people were turning up. He looked up, the sun nearly catching his eye, but surely enough there were some birds flying out and about. He smiled up as he kept walking forward. He didn't know many of the people around right now, not that it meant a whole lot, he had the birds. His attention averted to an empty table, at least until he heard a thud, his attention, as well as everyone else's it seemed, averted to the girl that was now on the ground. There was some girl helping her up, the daughter of Zeus. Sparrow hadn't formed too much of an opinion. From a distance, it might seem like she's on a high horse. But up close? Well, it was tough to tell.<br/><br/>Sparrow made his way over to the scene, mostly in concern, a thud like that sounded pretty bad. "Are you alright?" He asked, first speaking to the girl that had fallen. "Does she need to be brought to the big house?" He asked, referring to the girl that had helped her up this time.
