Luka crouched even lower behind the thick underbrush, his eyes locked onto a small rabbit nibbling on scattered clovers just a little distance away.
With a steadying breath, he activated [Beast Whisperer], reaching out with his mind.
He felt the connection form—
A faint thread linking him to the creature's simple thoughts.
Its ears perked up, twitching as if listening to something unheard.
Luka motioned with his hands, a soft wave and a pointed gesture deeper into the forest.
The rabbit stared at him for a moment, its nose twitching rapidly, before it gave a small hop forward.
Luka's lips curled into a grin.
"I hope you understood what I was trying to say…" he whispered.
To his surprise, the rabbit returned mere moments later, but it wasn't alone.
An entire band of rabbits followed behind it, their tiny feet rustling leaves and pattering against the dirt.
"…" Luka raised an eyebrow, impressed despite himself.
"Well… that's more than I expected," he muttered.
