Run like the wind

Takes place in dampwoods, sometime in the morning.

Blood pounded through Kostya's ears as he raced through the forest, eyes fixed on the deer feeing ahead of him. Kostya had been chasing the deer through the forest for a while now, tucking under trees and racing past spots of sunlight breaking through the canopy of leaves, revelling in his ability to once again just run

Kostya didn't particularly need the meat from the deer; his den was well stocked with meat from his recent hunting efforts and would last him a fair while. Instead he was just chasing the deer for the sheer joy of it. Up until today he had been recovering from his encounter with the bear which left him with wounds on his stomach and chest. Today was the first day that he actually felt well enough to run without limiting himself and his movement, and so he did, the deer more a target to run after than something he was actually interested in catching.

Easily clearing a fallen log that had caused the deer to stumble slightly Kostya slowed his pace, letting the deer pull ahead again before speeding up, snapping at its ankles playfully. This must have been the fifth time that eh could have caught it but to be frank he was having too much fun to bother.

And so he didn’t, instead he just carried on chasing the deer, revelling in the brisk morning air running through his pelt and the feeling of being able to run again.
