Grouse Thicket A Breath of Fresh Grouse

She had caught the bird and as it died in her jaws her companion applauded her work. A prt of her though he was being a bit sarcastic as she said it. He walked over to her and she set down her catch at her feet. Her tongue went in and out of her mouth as she tried to get a feather out of her mouth. Liekos didn't catch birds often, mostly because she hated how you had to remove some feathers before reaching the meat. 

Looking up from the bird she spoke to the male. "Is this "real"enough for you?" she asked refering to how he didn't think her apple was "real" food.
