A couple of days pass as Tomoe learns the ins and outs of being a Vampire.
You decide to take her out into the heavy snow on a midnight hunt. The blood of animals will provide ample nourishment without the ethics of feeding on humans. Besides it would be good practice.
You pad swiftly across the loose thick snow. Your armor would weigh you down and make you sink, same with your heels. With your vampire-like grace and light steps, bare feet would be ideal for crossing the snowy terrain.

Akame
"Your senses are far beyond the level of normal humans now. You are a predator of the night. You can smell the fear of your prey, you can hear the blood in their veins, and you can see in the deepest darkness. I want you to use those senses to track down a prey which you can feed on", Akame instructed to her childe.

She nods in her thin sweater, and short skirt following you along. "Okay... I see a deer about a kilometer away." She said.

"Go ahead. Hunt it down... do try to surprise it and kill it before it notices you. If you fail, you can still catch it with your speed, but I'd like you to do it through stealth, first." 3 in Speed to follow her;
9 (Ef) in Black Ops (Stealth) to avoid notice from the deer.

She nodded and slowly padded along the snow in relative darkness of the night. You watch as she makes her way along the snow barely leaving even the slightest footprint.

Akame
Akame followed along with her, remaining as silent as a tomb, and as swift as the wind. Repeating my stones.

You watch as she leaps and bites into the deer's throat sucking it down as the deer struggled to escape her grasp.
Meanwhile you find something glinting in the moonlight... Some kind of red stone.

Akame
The brunette raised an eyebrow, wondering what kind of an object would reflect light in such a way in the middle of nowhere. She crouched down to pick it up and take a look at it, well aware that her protégée could handle the situation on her end. Picking it up, and...
5 in Intelligence to examine the object.

You reach into a hole in a nearby tree, and pull out some sort of red stone. It clearly has some sort of magic, almost divine... or rather anti-divine power.

(OOC: Given all the studies on vampiric lore and powers she's done before in the last couple of issues, I'm gonna have her know what it is unless you have an objection.)
Akame
The vampiress' eyes widened as she finally realized what the stone actually was. That such a potent artifact would be discovered in such a place, out in the wild... as though she was fated to find it, or it fated to be found by her. Astonished by the discovery and its significance, she put the stone away in her pocket, feeling a shiver of excitement go down her spine.
Only then did she manage to snap out of it and report her attention back to the current situation. She walked back to Tomoe to see if her meal had fully satisfied her thirst for the time being.

You catch her spitting fur out her mouth.

"Aah, yes... you might want to cut off the fur with a dagger or something before biting heavy-furred creatures", she said, smiling. "How was the blood, though?"

"Tasty." She said licking her lips.

Akame
"Good to know", Akame said, smiling. "Know this. You, like me, are a superior kind of vampire. Every time you feed, you can survive under the sun's rays. It will still weaken you a bit, but you will not be set ablaze, merely feel a bit uncomfortable, and your powers will be diminished. In other words, in order to have a mostly normal life, and be able to live under the sun if you so please, you want to feed about once per day. Plus, obviously, not feeding for a whole day will begin to weaken you in and of itself. So hunting like this will be a mandatory skill to master", she advised.
"...Also, the queen and the commander do not mind if we drink the blood of criminals and enemies, but be smart about it. Not all crimes warrant the same level of punishment. A man who stole an apple should not be drained dry of all his blood, whereas nobody will miss a murderer, or a rapist. If no such target comes up, then seek animals, as we are doing today", she explained.

"I see." She said. "So what now?" She asked her sire.
