Skoll ran from the woods, a pair of rabbits in his secui jaws. His fluffy tail was held curled over his back, and there was a smile at the edges of his lips. Pride pulsed through his entire creamy-blonde being, although truly he had nothing out of the ordinary to be proud about. It was a vague pride, a way that the prince carried himself always, but it was augmented by the happiness he’d felt this past month.
His excursion with Terra had gone great, even though there had been plenty of close calls that seemed more of a thrill than a terror now that he was safe and sound. He’d learned much and more from his friend, and when he came home, his life continued to improve. His half-sister Amaranth, her mate, and their pups had returned to the Court, and he was happy to watch the family although he hadn’t spoken to them yet. Mostly, he was shy about what he should say; he had been only about a month old when they were around, and while he did remember them, it was hazy.
There was also a new friend in his life, but the squire chose not to think about her as he bolted across the lawn in front of the hotel and came to a halt. Dropping the rabbits, he plopped his rear in the grass and panted happily for a moment, letting the sunshine fall on him and wagging his tail more. Truthfully, he’d only caught one of the rabbits; the other had been snatched from a weasel. Despite its size, it had been fierce enough to kill the prey and left a bite mark on his cheek, but it was only a small pink gash and would likely heal on its own. If it got worse, he’d go see Liam about it.
For now, Skoll grinned and reclined in the grass, dragging one of the rabbits to him and beginning to eat.
