Hannibal was more than a little excited about his rag-tag group of dinosaur hunters. Granted, none of them were in rags and they hadn't seemed all that open to his suggestion of tag, but it was more fun to think of them as rag-tag. He had dubbed them Dino-might, as in "a DINOsaur MIGHT eat them". He would have had shirts made, but screen printing was apparently hard to come by on the island.

They were heading toward the southeastern section of the dinosaur territory, a section where Hannibal had noticed a T-Rex frequented for the past week or so. It was a good place to hunt, a dino-territory peninsula surrounded on two sides by whatever was keeping out the dinosaurs and another by the ocean. Prey could be cornered there and forced to fight. Good news if you were a giant-ass predator, bad news if you were the prey. In their case, the two were one in the same.

From there, the plan was to kill the thing, cut off its head, and drag the head to a raft Hannibal had anchored close by. It wasn't the most well made raft, but he was pretty sure it would do for his purposes.

"Alright, Dino-mights, we're almost there," he told them, glancing back over his shoulder to make sure everyone was keeping up. "Remember, the plan is to let me throw my meat bomb into his mouth, and everyone else make sure I don't get Velociraptored or fucked some other way while I'm trying not to be an afternoon snack. Unless it's, you know, proper fucked by some sort of sexy dinosaur women which may or may not be out here. Also, I have a strange craving for Poptarts. Did anyone bring Poptars? Preferably the brown sugar ones."

It's fairly easy to tune out the talking. Actually, it's nice that he's not the one filling the void of silence with chatter. It typically gets him smacked upside the head and he's grateful for a change in the routine. He's got his sword with him as always and he does hope that strength in numbers holds out.

He truly doubts Katniss will be about to save him this time. And, of course, there's nothing he wants more than a single tooth from that gleaming white mouth. He'll do just about anything for it -- even listen to this inane babbling.

"So, you ever think of learning to use a gun?" Hannibal asked Gwaine.

Sure, the sword looked cool and ammunition on the island was limited, but there was just something about being able to kill someone from a distance that appealed to Hannibal. He didn't mind getting up close and personal, but it was nice to avoid it if possible.

"Never," Gwaine replies, honest and instant. While there might be a scattered sort of talent in wielding such a weapon, it reduces the battle to mere luck in hitting a target. "I'd rather fight sword to sword any day. There's more honour in it," he says, filled with the belief in it. "And besides, I'm not half bad with my fists."

Not long into this expedition, Zuko's already wondering why he agreed to take part. He never talked to Hannibal all that much at work, and now he knows why...he's completely obnoxious, and has apparently never heard of stealth since he won't shut up. Dino-mights? Seriously? It's like someone took the most annoying parts of Sokka, Aang and Ty Lee and crammed them all into one person.

He's ignoring the chatter for the most part, keeping to the rear of the group to watch their backs as he stays alert to their surroundings, watching and listening - well, listening as best he can, it's a good thing his hearing is excellent - for any imminent danger.

"Hey, Conor Oberst back there, you ever have to fight dragons or dinosaurs or anything like that before?" Hannibal called back.

He wasn't sure why the kid had agreed to come along in the first place, although "dinosaur hunt" seemed like enough of a reason to Hannibal. He had to wonder if the guy had experience with this sort of thing or something and that's why he tagged along.

"My name is Zuko," he replies flatly, wondering if Hannibal really doesn't remember his name or if he's just being a smartass. "I've never fought a dragon, I learned from them. I've run across a couple of dinosaurs. Why, are you doubting my ability to handle myself?"
