Ouroboros Spine PACK ACTIVITY: remember all the roads

Iqniq saw the brush past him as more of a challenge but Tatsuya did not see it as such. Tail neutral, head level with spine, bodice tense with excitement...what was there to get all huffy about? Any of his superiors could have easily did what he did: go to the front of their little squadron. Tatsuya would not have groused about it. Even now, Iqniq threatened to alert the skulk to their presence with his unneeded growls. If you draw their attention to us, it's your fault. Luckily, their quarry were oblivious to their to-be exterminators. Ah. At least we still have the element of surprise...

Arverk did what was expected of him, silently telling him that the wolverine's position was fine. Okay. Resuming his pensive stance, Tatsuya waited for the whale's awaited signal. Seconds ticked on by, the twitch of tail and nod of his head enough to make Tatsuya's lips peel back. He was ready. None of them would escape.

A fox slipped right on by the the wolverine and whale, tiny body slithering against the Zeta's leg. Damn! It was so quick Tatsuya was too slow in getting a hold of it. Wanting to chase after it, he stood his ground when he caught sight of Echelon going after their escaped prey. Good. He did not want to leave the entrance unattended. Even though the whale (presumably) was still there, these bastards were quick on their feet! Far too fast for Tatsuya to chase after. He was a weighty beast and that would ultimately slow him down. If anyone should be chasing after foxes, it should be Echelon. She was small enough to race after the buggers.

Not wanting to bombard her with any more fleeing foxes, Tatsuya turned to snatch up the fox she managed to corral their way. His jowls wrapped around it's midsection, he gave it a harsh shake before a satisfying crack! was heard. The creature's spine and part of it's rib cage gave way beneath the force of his bite, blood dripping from it's mouth. It was not yet dead but it would die in a few minutes; most of the organs inside of it had been ruptured and now it was unable to run. Discarding Echelon's masterful catch (it had been her target more than his own), it laid now upon the earth. Most likely begging to be put out of it's misery. The wolverine would not grant death. Maybe once this extermination was done (if it was still alive), but there was more foxes to get rid of and he was not about to let another slip past him. Turning back around to face the entrance, another fox was hauling ass towards them. I don't think so! He tripped the small critter, writhing uselessly on the ground to regain footing. Too late. Either Echelon or Arverk would get it, it's escape momentarily delayed.
