It was dumb lucky really. They had just happened across the fox's cache and most likely wouldn't have found it if it weren't for their rough-housing. Then again, that's how such prizes are normally won, by pure dumb luck. Although Tristan had not approached Kiara immediately, most likely due to him being suspicious that Kiara was trying to pull something, it wasn't long before his curiosity won out. He shook himself free of snow and slowly sauntered over to her. Curiosity quickly gave way to hunger and excitement, making Kiara instinctively grab hold of the leg. Food was a large part of her old packs life and often times fights broke out due to food. Thus, Kiara had learned to grab it when it was around. But Kiara also recognized the puppy like grin and furiously wagging tail, not to mention the signs of malnutrition.
After a moment of hanging on to the leg she dropped it and backed off, assuming the submissive position. The snow wolf had come from a very strict pack, so such rituals were important and heavily ingrained into her mannerisms. Although Kiara did have authority over the meat, according to her pack laws, she rescinded the authority to the starving male. She moved back a foot, taking herself out of the meat safety zone (the zone in which meat can be claimed by one wolf).
Tristan's attempts to woo her would have normally sent the young wolf into a confused frenzy, but the comical interruption by his stomach nullified the words effects. Instead of setting her heart afire, it set her body into laughing spasms. It was rude, but she didn't care. Eventually Kiara calmed down enough to speak. "Okay, agreed. Well, its about time you dug in." Kiara stood back and waited for her turn, giving the older male the same respect she would give an alpha. Kiara kept her body and her head low, although her tail refused to stay still as it beat furiously against the snow. Every now and again her body would spasm with suppressed laughter as she remember the stomach fiasco. Kiara had never really been hit on by a male, but if this was what it was like she didn't mind.
