Phoenix Maplewood i will take you as food and leave you as famine

Corvus could smell the stench marking the edge of a territory nearby. While generally nonchalant, he was no fool; he would keep his distance. He continued his saunter in some aimless direction, merely in search of anything to keep that painfully familiar bite of hunger at bay. It had been his only concern for quite some time, and while he appreciated some thrill to entertain him, the simple struggle to survive kept him occupied and on his toes enough.

He distanced himself from the border until the wretched odors no longer plagued his sensitive nose. To his surprise, it was replaced with a scent much more... Pleasing, he would put it. It drew him in, consuming his thoughts. His feet brought him in the scent's direction without his command; he was on autopilot. However, as he neared, another scent - a male scent, appeared. It would likely mean trouble if he approached into eyeshot, he thought.

And so he did. He stopped at a safe distance coming up behind the female canine which was not intrusive, but he was not hidden, either, for he did not hide. Though, he did have plenty of room to hightail if need be, despite detesting the idea. Corvus was sure things would become interesting, which was just what he desired.
