Tyko continued to ignore all else as he ate, but there was one smell that he couldn’t keep his mind off of. There was a female close by, and she wasn’t interested in what he was doing. He lifted his bloody head out of the creature and looked around. He didn’t see anything, but felt compelled to follow the scent… So, after licking what blood he could off of his face, he did.
He ran for a mile or so toward the forest, but the lighter side of the trees where there were more bushes and shrubs than taller trees. The black hunter silently waded through the bushes and trees and made his way toward this mysterious female. She seemed to be well-hidden in there. Somewhere. Tyko stopped and sniffed the air here and there, and prowled closer to the female. Soon, he could see her some ten feet away – close enough to scare her and far enough to keep his distance.
She seemed to be picking berries of some sort, and the sight of her knife kept Tyko at bay – not that he had any desire to hurt her. He just didn’t exactly want to get hurt, himself. He went around her, still managing to keep that ten foot sprawl between them. He stalked now to the side of her rather than facing her head on, and he snorted. There was blood in his nose, but he managed to blow it out. He raised a paw to rub his face, getting all the excess liquids off before confronting the female.
”Hey there.” He would offer her some of his kill, if she wanted it. Abella could hunt for herself later, and the hyena, well, she could do the same. She had to have survived on something up to this point.
