Fairspell Meadow Lepus and the Grand Evasion

Cicero licked his lips as he dropped the rabbit corpse to the ground after stuffing it with some dried daphne berries he'd found. He sniffed the rabbit, finding nothing at fault with it, and then he considered his next steps. How would he get anyone to eat it. Cicero stood at the frays of the meadow and watched over it until eventually he spotted some wolf. Cicero put down his rabbit, licked his lips clean and started to travel so that he was downwind from the stranger and could smell that he wasn't a part of any important pack. Cicero's wounds were smarting (his right front paw still hurt to put pressure on and his neck and shoulder were torn on the left side) and truthfully, he just wanted to go home. The reasons he was here were uncertain even to himself. Perhaps he was waiting for the wounds to pass so that he could return home with head lifted rather than tail tucked.

The meek male reminded Cicero a bit of Inari, when he thought of it. He felt guilty for willing to use him as experiment, but such was life. It wasn't fair, he knew, and only the smart survived... If they were lucky.

Cicero skirted back to where he'd left the rabbit while he watched the male smell the flowers. The berries that he'd used weren't of something he knew about; Cicero was usually the one to try out his own poisons, but today he decided to try them on someone else. Deciding to go for a friendly tactic — because finding a random in tact carcass would likely rouse suspicion — Cicero decided to sit in plain sight of the male while he started to tear apart the rabbit — well, the good side without plants in it, anyway, and wait for the other to come near, pretending he didn't see him yet.

i picked the daphne berries from the herb list in drafts: Will experience itchy skin, eye irritation, inflammation and temporary blindness.
