This way be dragons.
The great beast rose and stepped forward, cutting through the darkness to snatch at the meal he'd caught for her. She retreated, vanishing into shadow as he lingered and waited for her to begin the process that was devouring every morsel of that bird. He thought nothing of her savagery. That meal was hers, she could do with it as she pleased. As long as her aggression was for the bird and not him, he was content. Instinct, moods, or otherwise, he would tend to her in spite of her objections.
He waited for her to settle before he padded towards where she lay in the dark. His footsteps were soft, a quiet patter upon the stone floor as he neared the recent carnage. He stepped around it, lowering his head only once to pick up a lengthy feather that was once a part of the bird's tail. Now? Now he claimed it as his reward for a job well done and lingered over her, tickling her nose with the tip of the wispy plume.
