Silvertip Mountain I'm past being hungry

Hunting had proved fruitless after three separate attempts but Niita was determined to find something. Luck seemed to be on her side, depending on how you viewed the situation, when she came across the carcass of a groundhog. It was hard and stiff, a carrion crow had pecked away some of the meat, but it was food. 

With the dead creature clasped in her jaws, Niita had begun to head back towards her usual sleeping spot but stopped in her tracks. Zaria was lying out in the heat, her form somehow thinner than before if that was possible. Was she dead? The Beta didn't appear to be moving at all but as Niita got closer she could see that Zaria wasn't dead yet. 

Laying the groundhog down within Zaria's reach, Niita nudged the russet woman gently. "Zaria? You should eat. I know this isn't the best but it's food." Niita murmured with a grimace, knowing the meat wasn't very palatable at all.
