Redhawk Caldera Mama always said life was like a box of chocolates

This thread is a lot older than I thought it was, oops! *moves toward conclusion with life lessons, yo*

In a surprising turn of events, Dhole made her first kill. An approving smile flitted over the Alpha's face in response. Instinct seemed to run deep in their veins, something Fox was quite pleased with. The last thing she wanted was some over-emotional softie who couldn't bear to kill its own food. Besides, instinct was important for other aspects of life, too. It was what kept them out of trouble (for the most part) and contributing to their pack.

"The first of many, I’ve no doubt," she mused at little Wifi. "But you should know that we must eat whatever we kill. Failing to do so is just as wrong as not killing it." With that, Fox gestured at the frog, hoping Dhole would get the hint that she was expected to eat the slimy creature. If she refused, it would be an even more poignant lesson.
