Skoll is like, "Are you craaaazy?" Lemme know if scrolling tables are a problem too. :3

The subject of food was one of great interest to the boy, who grew more and more each day. He was happy to help his friend hunt where he could, although they never took on deer or elk like he wanted to. He knew that wasn’t how Terra operated, considering her species, and despite his size he was too wary to take a large herbivore down on his own. Even nibbling at carrion was fine, although he liked this lesson least of all; he was a prince, and a wolf, and wolf princes did not scavenge from another predator’s leavings.

Skoll almost rolled his eyes when the coywolf headed toward the scent of a not-so-fresh-moose, but the underlying stench made his hackles prickle with thrill. Green eyes widened as he crept slowly after his mentor. Would she really…? he wondered, and his jaw dropped when he hunkered in the bushes beside her.

She would, the squire thought, gazing at the bear with a mixture of excitement and terror. He’d heard plenty about the creatures, both from the anecdotes and warnings of the pack and the stories he read. But this beast hunkered over the moose carcass was no Baloo.

Skoll cursed his bright pelt as he crouched in the vegetation, staring worriedly at Terra as he wondered what, exactly, she was planning. His shoulders trembled then grew taut as he spurred on the change to secui, the better to deal with a giant creature like this. He knew the coyote hybrid had her tricks, but if this came to fight or flight, the superior form would lend him speed and strength. As his mass multiplied and his bones stretched to accommodate his weight, he continued to watch the she-yote with concern.

Mom would not be happy to hear about this.
