The Sentinels Antsy and Pregnant

*steals all open threads* :D it's been a while since these two had one!

Dante lunged at the bird as it took off, cursing silently as he watched it wing away unharmed. He'd have liked the lunch, but would have to settle for a delay until he could track down some other unsuspecting small critter. He'd never been a particularly gifted hunter, knowing enough to survive but having more of an edge in a group. His size made sneaking up on smaller prey a bit of an issue.

He put his nose down to follow some woodland trails as he moved through the claim, tail waving happily behind him. He wasn't too fussed by the miss, for the day was clear and crisp. For a long time he'd hated winter, but these early days, the clean air envigorated him.

He spotted Blue Willow lying ahead and smiled, altering course to go say hello. His mood was high and it had been a while since they had caught up. "Blue, hey!" He hailed her cheerfully, coming around so that he was in view as he moved in closer.
