» Pilot had told the pup that as soon as he caught something on his own, that he would give him his own piercing as a symbol of his accomplishment. Of course, the pup was determined from then on. He went out right after their conversation, and began stalking small game – mostly rabbits and birds. However, both proved to be better prey than he thought. Escaping his many attempts, Icarus gave up for a bit. Sighing, he headed for home in order to rest up for the night in hopes he might be able to catch something the next day.[/html]
» Pilot had been rather surprised when the pup showed up. He was still quite young – only a little over 4 months. Pilot, who was not accustomed to youth, had learned many new things about their development. He had been told that the pups wouldn’t start hunting with the pack until they were about 6 weeks old. Small game hunting would also take place around the same time or so. But no, Icarus had somehow defied that odd. In his teeth hung a small chipmunk – nothing glamorous, but he did pass the test.
» This counted, didn’t it? After all, he hadn’t said what kind of game. Just that Icarus had to catch it on his own. After many failed attempts with various types of prey, he had gotten lucky. He just hoped now that Pilot would give the stamp of approval and Icarus could claim his reward.
