rendezvous

A quick ending to this. NOTE: this takes place before the coyote attacks!

As soon as the pronghorn's body met Sawtooth Spire's borders, he howled for aid. It was past time to settle down for the evening, but he has brought a fresh kill for his pack mates. First things first: they needed to bring this brawny beast further in or run the risk of attracting bigger, badder predators. Amazingly, the only wolf to show up was the newcomer, @Wicked. Tatsuya told him what they needed to do and Wicked complied. They both dragged Tatsuya's catch into the safety and privacy of Sawtooth Spire. Far from the eyes and nose of peckish outsiders.

The Gamma's trek across the entirety of Fairspell Meadow has drained much of the blood from the antelope. A path existed but it disappeared before the spine's borders. None would be lured here...unless they wished to test the spine's denizens.

Once an adequate ways from the border, Tatsuya tore into the scarred carcass and ate. Wicked tried his luck in joining but Tatsuya made him rethink this. The Gamma's feast served a purpose: to get to the healthier organs for Tonravik. Once done, Tatsuya looks down to the organs gathered. Hm. Yes. This would be enough for her. He moved to allow Wicked to glut himself on the Gamma's hard earned prize. “Once you're done, you are to distribute the rest into our caches. Just the organs though. Oh, and don't eat all of it.” The Epsilon let out a “fine” as Tatsuya turned to bring Tonravik the organs he selected.

He drew close to the den. @Iqniq was laying outside. The Alpha became alert in seeing the wolverine, standing tall and defensively. Tatsuya expected nothing less from Iqniq, opting to deposit the organs a sizable distance away. His mate seemed to already be stirring in her den. A loud, demanding growl echoed through the area. Some things never change.

“I brought down a pronghorn. I...brought this for the mother.” Iqniq likely already knew that but the Gamma felt it worth repeating. “Our newest recruit is distributing the rest into the caches.” His work here done, he slowly backed away before turning tail into a tired gait. He needed to sleep before he passed out in the open.
