Horizon Ridge whiz-bang attitude

Pump was not dense and she soon realized that Kennedy wasn't frolicking in the forest for no reason. She spotted the rabbit, but, since she had had a decent meal not too long ago, was not interested in hunting and let the older packmate deal with it. He did seem very excited in doing this. Determination was an admirable trait - one that the wolf-dog had an on/off relationship with - but it seemed that her packmate had plenty of it.

However the critter was faster than the hunter and the attempt to kill it was doomed to a failure. He apologized for not paying enough attention to her and this made Pump frown. It appeared that this guy suffered from a incessant desire to please others no matter of the circumstances. And remembering their last encounter, she had no desire to relive those awkward moments. "'tis nothing," she brushed it off and hoped that he would not get all weird and feel guilty more than neccessary.

"Missed it by a whisker," she continued and then decided to compliment him, just in case he misunderstood her words. "You look like a skilled hunter."
