Redhawk Caldera All my down and outs

I'll fade here :)

Jaws expected the victorious pup to now enjoy the prize he won, and at first Nightjar did just that, but to the coywolf's surprise the pup had a change of heart and brought the stick to him, though not without some effort for he was yet small and the stick a challenge for his stature. The stick was dropped at his feet, and the prince gave him clear signs that he was passing ownership to him. Jaws smiled broadly, but was caught off guard when the pup leaned up and licked at his throat. He tensed momentarily, not accustomed to such contact, but relaxed quickly, more by instinct than anything. As Nightjar padded back to his mother, Jaws gingerly took the stick and on his way gave the pup a warm, gentle nudge with his nose, and then a nod to Fox, before heading back to his den where he would keep his gift.
