Hunting

Cobalt and Aidan are seen hunting multiple times throughout Blood Brothers. Hunting is the action of searching or chasing for wild animals to catch or kill. Cobalt is described as being the better hunter of the two brothers. He mostly catches birds in the forest. Aidan is better at gathering bedding and other materials.

Hunting in Episode One
Cobalt and Aidan go hunting twice in episode one. The first time Cobalt catches a dark coloured bird. He brings the bird back to Iris, their mother, so she can have dinner. Later in the episode, Cobalt and Aidan go out to play. Cobalt catches a finch, to bring back to their mother.

Hunting in Episode Two
Cobalt and Aidan are shown hunting twice in episode two, but it is discussed often. The first time is in a flashback. Aidan explains that Slate did not like Cobalt and was very unappreciative of him. Cobalt constantly tried to prove himself to his father by catching squirrels, birds, and other prey. The second time, Cobalt and Aidan are in need of food on their long journey through the mountains. They try to hunt the birds but Cobalt complains that they are too fast in the mountains, not wanting to admit to his defeat. The brothers then move to the forest, which is very plentiful in creatures to hunt.

Cobalt
Of the two brothers, Cobalt is the better hunter. Due to his interest in meeting his father's expectations, Cobalt spent a lot of his childhood practicing hunting insects and other small creatures. In episode two it is shown how hard Slate pushes Cobalt. No matter what Cobalt catches, Slate always says it is not good enough. Cobalt's determination and intense motivation result in higher hunting skills.
