Blacktail Deer Plateau See a little starlight

Thanks for starting!  :D

Her belly was what he saw first and the boy's eyes went wide.  It had been a long time since the boy had seen Osprey and so he had not seen the slow inflation from lean mean hunting machine to pregnant blob.  Thus he could only assume in his innocent, young way that she had eaten at least a deer and a half herself.  Which meant that she was storing up the food for eager mouths like his, right?  Him, Casi and Eild were growing and starting to eat a variety of foods with more ease.  They still ate regurgitated meat on a regular basis, though, as it was partially digested and easier for their young mouths.  So to him, it was a natural assumption that she had filled that belly right up and was ready to feed him.  Yay!  That was good, because now his stomach was grumbling.

The boy bounded toward her, interrupting her alone time without pause.  "Pree, Pree!"  he greeted her, his tail whipping back and forth excitedly behind him.  "Gawt food een belly, feeds Cawnie?!"  the boy asked, flipping back his ears and letting his whole body wag to try his cutest look ever.  Although most adults were happy to regurgitate a portion of their meal for his purposes, he had learned it was rude to shove your nose into their jaw and try to force it.  So he didn't do that... even if he wanted to because she clearly was hoarding all the food and he was hungry.
