Moonspear drive by

He couldn't hear any footfalls behind him, so he was satisfied that Ness had followed his directive -- at least for now. Quickly, he picked up on the scent of the missing hare, and it led him right to the mouth of an underground warren. Huffing thoughtfully, Floki inserted his snout experimentally into the hole, breathing deeply as he devised a plan.

Luckily for him, he didn't have to do too much thinking. It seemed that his presence alone was enough to rattle the already shaken up rabbit, because it -- or one of its siblings -- darted out of a clump of short bushes nearby. Springing into action, he raced after it, nearly tripping on the underbrush in his hurry. As he passed by, he noticed a secondary entrance hidden beneath the thick leaves.

The rabbit was swift, and Floki was lacking finesse, but he managed to overpower it with a few thrusts of his hind legs. The end result wasn't pretty -- he bowled it over with his forepaws, likely snapping its neck accidentally in the fall, and somersaulted to the ground. He was pleasantly surprised to find the small animal slumped between his front legs, and just to ensure that its life was over, he sank his teeth into its tender spine. It shuddered, and then went limp. Grinning around its fur, he stood and gave himself a shake, then trundled back towards Ness.

He met her about halfway and gave her a playful scowl. "I 'old 'ou to sthtay put," he scolded, then dropped the still-warm carcass at her feet.
