This harsh rocky land held one major advantage that lent itself well to hunting what sparse things settled here - that it was as barren in colours as it was in life.

Meaning that it leant itself well to camouflage - and Corvannis being mostly coloured to the environment was rather suited for it, the only bright spots the bioluminescent glow of blue, which served more as an attraction to the curious wildlife than anything (and was easily hideable given he could control the intensity) - That and his brighter hair looked more like dry grass which if he kept still enough, would bring the hungry to him if anything.

But for now,the snap and crunch of bone echoed along the rocks as Corvannis tore the head from the third lizard he’d found today - scrawny scraggly things but edible at least.

Could he have chosen a better place to settle down in? One that had better housing and plentiful food? Perhaps, but Kornak said he had to find a barren land so that only those fit to survive on the bare essentials could stay in the Cardinal Sect. Cheshā had his doubts about the idea, but he would never voice them and he had carried his orders dutifully.
The sound of bones snapping and crunching brought him out of his thoughts and the horned amur leopard lifted his head. While he doubted someone would trespass on the sect's territory, he decided to investigate what the source of the sound was. So he followed it and came upon Corvannis chowing down on a lizard.

"Enjoying your meal?" Cheshā asked with a small chuckle, taking a seat in front of his brother.

His segmented tail twitched as footsteps approached - he already knew exactly who was heading in his direction and so didn’t bother looking up until Chesha rounded to sit directly in front of him while he chewed the measly lizard.

One isde of his mandibled mouth twitched upwards and he hummed ”for what little is available on the menu today, yes” he rumbled, having swallowed the morsel before he spoke, blue eyes resting on his brother with a tilt of his head ”fancy a lizard?” he said gesturing to the few remaining small scuttling ones that were now darting towards crags and cracks having witnessed the murder of their brother.
