Ouroboros Spine out with the crow

He'd been keeping himself busy with hunting when he could, but at times, he still found himself wandering aimlessly through the territory. He'd just brought meat to the ulax with the hope of taking Ipiktok or Salaksartok on a hunt, but neither of them seemed to be around. He thought about calling for Vairë instead to share it with her, but he felt silly taking her away from her new leadership duties. Instead he left a haunch nearby and scored his scent in claw marks beside it — a note from a not-so-secret admirer, to be found when she had the time.

Lingering at the edge of this common space, he began cleaning the blood from the kill off his paws. His rose gold eyes lifted every so often to see if anyone else was about.
