She looked like she didnt want to come with him as he moved away and Saul paused to turn back and encourage her. But it seemed she just had an issue with leaving the badger corpse behind, for in one swift movement she ripped it apart and swallowed it. Just slightly disturbed by the swiftness she had swallowed the dead flesh in caused a shiver to race up his spine. He turned and motioned for her to follow, happy that he could hear pattering footsteps behind him. That was a good sign at least. A soft huff escaped him as they headed north towards Berwick, hoping that the rabbits were out to play today. It was a chilly day and the sun was having a hard time staying in its peak. But he wasnt too concerned with that- all wolves had excellent night vision. It was just easier for them to hunt in the daytime, and eat in the daytime as well.

Making sure Moonglow was out of sight when they reached the small town, Saul crouched behind one of the destroyed buildings. Unlike Wolfville, Berwick's buildings had been in complete disrepair long before the snow storm. Green eyes were wide, taking in all the light he could to catch the movement of a fluffy tail bouncing up and down. Saul had watched rabbits before and when an enemy made itself known the rabbits scattered. The snowy white on their tails acted like a warning system to the rest of its family, flashing every time it jumped forwards. Clever little things, but tricky to catch. With a nod given to Moonglow Saul stalked forward.

Green gaze caught the sight of one flash of the rabbits tail. It hadnt seen or smelt him and therefore he was at a better advantage. Creeping forward so slowly that he made no sound and barely rustled the air around him took great patience. Still, it wasnt quite enough for him to have a perfect stalk. Rabbits a little further away saw the wolf ascending onto their family member and turned to run. The flash of white to his prey's vision startled it and it ran. A deep growl rumbled in the Theta's throat as he took off. It was a short chase, strong limbs twisting him this way and that as his sharp fangs pierced the rabbits neck. He'd only managed to catch the animal by the scruff of it neck and he proceeded to shake the rabbit back and forth. When it stopped squealing Saul knew that it was dead. Proud of his swift kill, Saul trotted back towards Moonglow, kill held high. He dropped it at her paws, tail swinging back and forth.

"That should be better than dead badger..."

He announced with a proud smile. He was getting better, that much could be said.
