(357) "You expected I was full of fail, did you not?"[/html]
He snorted at her statement that her shooting the arrow was reasonable was because it was a risk to be taken. He certainly did not want to chance his nose over a rabbit, but, her aim proved to be fair like she pointed out, so his argument was lost there. It was becoming more often than not whenever he said something, she was able to come up with something else to make him wrong in some way. It made him a bit annoyed, but he was resigned that there was not much he could do about it. The most he could do was wait and listen for a flaw to point out himself, yet Eclipse did not speak of anything that could easily been dismissed.
He watched the fowl strut slowly around, its head tilting back up as it found something and proceeded to feed on it. It had inched closer to where the pair laid hidden, but neither had given away their position, and the bird was still blissfully unaware. It bent back down to look for more food, and that was when Robert made his move.
He did not shoot out of his position like he had earlier with the rabbit, but instead he sprung from where he had once been crouching. The grouse was in confusion, and tried to take off into the air, which he had suspected when he was watching it. The prey was not fast enough to veer into a different direction once flying, its body weight too much to make sudden changes as the man tackled to the ground without much trouble.
Feathers flew as he moved around the frantic bird, a couple of seconds of nothing but terrified squawks and short boughs of growling. But, he finally got a grip on the grouse and bit down quickly on its throat, and it quickly went limp on his jaws. Shaking his neck, feathers that were clinging to him floating off and the caught prey waving lifelessly with the motion, he turned to Eclipse with a grin, though it was somewhat hidden by the mass of bird. "So?" he prompted, cocky.
