Phoenix Maplewood A record year for rainfall

Tavi was peeling back a fleshy layer of skin, ready to nibble free a second chunk of meat before anyone could protest - but she heard Desna speaking, and gave pause. With a turn of her head, she saw the girl talking to Reek. The struggle that the girl faced was common for youngsters - even Tavi had been put off by the common rank-and-file approach when she was growing up, but she dealt with it. Desna seemed.. Softer, somehow. Not weak exactly, but less  push-and-shove than Octavia or her own brothers. Tavi shrank back from the kill and circled back to where Desna was sitting, plopping herself next to her and playfully, jovially, bumping the girl's shoulder as a sign of camaraderie. "Chin up, little lady. You did good."  She licked the warm blood from her snout and tried to pass a happy wolf smile towards Desna, glancing at Reek in case he was preparing to speak as well; but she continued carefully. "If you want we could do some tracking and hunting together? I'm not quite up to snuff - I think that was the first pack hunt I'd been apart of since home. I mean, my last home." Gulp. But they brought it down, so no harm in stating that. It would give Desna a chance to show off, Tavi the opportunity to learn, and maybe make everyone feel better.
