It had been a few hours since Larus had encountered @Blondine, and he was remarkably chipper about it.

One-eyed, but all smiles.' And other things to that effect. As far as he could discern, it helped.

Then, abruptly, there was the scent of a fresh rabbit or something small, something edible, and everything else was scrubbed from his thoughts; he charged after that scent and did not stop even as it flooded with minerality. Blood. It made him salivate, licking at his muzzle as he plunged through the snow — not even thinking about why the scent of blood would be so pervasive.
