Nova Peak rendezvous

last post for me; get this old thing wrapped up lol

He watched his brother as he gloated over the rabbit, and then seemed a bit confused that the smallest Frostfur was showing no interest in it. Swift felt a flicker of his own triumph in that, as if he had won some sort of meta-game. Pasha may have gotten the hare but perhaps he did not get the satisfaction he had thought would come with it. It seemed not, for he gathered the rabbit in his jaws and bounded toward Swift.

The boy stiffened, eyeing his brother suspiciously but not moving. Not expecting what came next, he made to duck as Pasha swung the hare toward him, but his response was not quick enough and he was taken across the face. But rather than snarl and snap as would be expected of him, he merely stared hard before rising to his paws, turning his back to his brother, and loping away. In this way, he felt satisfied that though he had lost the prize, he had won in another way.
