A Hunt (Of Sorts)
#11
That's quite alright. :3 I thought we were done. Big Grin Awesome to know it isn't so.

When Saul increased his speed Moonglow decreased her own. She continued following in his footsteps but slowed to a halt when the ruined remains of a town came into view.

The female sank onto her haunches and watched the Theta stalk a rabbit, glad the wind was blowing her scent away from the hunt. She admired his form, feeling strangely disconnected and oddly content. The bad feeling were still there but they were like the surface of a pond on a windless day.

When the Theta caught one of the rabbits Moonglow rose to her feet ears perked. The little beast's death shriek caused something inside her to jolted with something that felt very like pleasure. The young female blinked, bemused, before she shook herself and dismissed the feeling. She must be even hungrier than she realized.

When Saul began trotting towards her, head and tail high, she crouched submissively as he dropped the dead rabbit at her paws. After his quip, she tilted her ears in agreement but didn't speak. There was a beat in which Moonglow didn't move, watching the male carefully.

When he made no move to take a share as was his right nor any other threatening gesture she eased forward slightly, stretched out her neck and nuzzled his chin in proper submissive thanks.

Moonglow then immediately redirected her attention to the food before her. She nudged the limp, still warm body onto it's back and, with one swift toss of her head, ripped open it's stomach. With the complete focus of one who knew starvation well, she began gulping down the sweet, still warm organs.

She made a pleased rumble in her chest, ears swiveling with ground in wariness even as she crunched through the brittle ribs and nudged into the chest cavity to snap up the blood-rich heart.

The best parts eaten Moonglow began to rip chunks from the rabbit and swallowing. Finally, when there was nothing left but some fur and a few bone shards Moonglow fastidiously licked the excess blood from her muzzle.

"It was wonderful." Moonglow said in that carefully polite way of hers before wagging her tail a few times.
