Sawtooth Spire there goes rabbit, he choked

His eyes flicked to his father's paw as it moved over the rabbit. Whether it was obvious or not, the fox was quite attentive to subtle gestures and really, all the details of his world. This awareness was still developing, and would only become more prevalent as his mind and senses became sharper with growth.

Iqniq explained that the rabbit was not for him, but rather to be shared with everyone. Despite some of the possessiveness he had displayed in other scenarios, in this moment he was quite okay with the idea and nodded his acceptance. He was even more willing when his father offered him the first bite. "Yeah!" he chirped, tail wagging and body wriggling. He did not immediately dive for the rabbit, waiting until he saw that paw lift, which said to him that he was permitted now. He cast his father a warm, grateful glance, and then moved in.

He went first for the tail, as the fluffiness of it had drawn his attention, but it did not take more than a few chomps for him to realize that it was perhaps a great toy, but not so much for eating. The ears enticed him next, and while these offered a rewarding metallic taste to the tongue, there was still not much to keep his interest. Finally, he moved to the belly, his nose pulling him toward that warm area. He started plucking at the fur and skin until he had worried open a small hole, which gradually expanded as he tore tiny bits of flesh free. As he chewed, his eyes would flick to his father, to see that he was still allowed to continue.
