The lousiness of his abilities was only because he had never taken down a Badger before, he often would take down squirrels and very rarely, because this animal showed more emotion, deer. The luperci could recall the first time he had taken down a deer, he didn't eat any of the deer because he hated the scared look on it's face and didnt want to do anymore damage to it. He felt guilty. But now wasn't the time to feel guilty, he knew this as he saw the coyote seemed to be angry with how poorly he was hunting at the large rodent. Edgar decided to try harder so that he wouldn't walk away looking like a wimp to yet another person. The Badger began to take off, the dog speedily dashed after it and surprised the animal by pouncing at it from the side and biting them there. This time he didn't wait for the coyote to attack next, he would learn to cope with the pain during this hunt. Edgar pinned the animal down and bit down on the front part of it's neck, resulting in a long scratch on his chest that was very painful. The boy continued to hold down the animal by the neck, increasing the pressure of his bite, as he began to wonder if the stranger was even following anymore. Had he left him to kill the animal on his own? He hoped not, because this rodent wouldn't be very easy to kill on his own.
The badger broke loose as Raoth tore into the badger's flesh, leaving a long streaming wound from it's body. Growling he chased after it, hot on the dog's heels as they headed through. The male was quick this time luckily, biting down into the badger's neck. Right after him Raoth leaped in. His jaws fastened around the badger's head as it swung around, and brought the creature to it's death. The badger still thrashed a little as the nerves died down, but it began to cool down.
Backing off Raoth grinned widely. It had hurt taking the critter down, but that had actually been an alright hunt. Despite how wimpy his hunting partner had been the dog had come through in the end, and now they had a kill to share. The coyote moved up to tear off a chunk and swallow it before he remembered how messy his eating was. Did he really want to look that ridiculous in front of someone else? The hesitation flickered through briefly before he snorted and turned his head. The dog could have it to himself.
Despite the dog's words about being hungry earlier he didn't dig in, both simply standing there. Raoth snorted, a little bit angry at the thought of wasting a corpse in such a way. Well after the dog left Raoth would have no problem digging in and taking his fill. He just didn't want anyone to see him eat. A sudden flurry freaked the coyote out, baring his teeth and snapping down at her. She didn't seem to mind in the least, begging to the other male for food. Raoth watched in surprise as the meat was regurgitated the same it would be for a pup and eaten by the goose. They ate meat?
Now the dog began to eat in earnest, choking it down and being almost as messy as Raoth without his tongue was. He grinned widely at the show of thanks, sitting back with pleasure as he watched. It took some time with the stranger digging through. Neither of them had really made any noise the entire time, though Raoth had seen that the other had a tongue. He was curious to why, but didn't push it. Looking up he realized how long he'd been gone, and broke into a run. What if Aro had been hurt while he'd been out? He had to hurry back. Raoth didn't look back even once as he ran off, the need to return to his master greater than anything he might feel towards the dog he'd hunted with.
