Larksong Grotto At It Again

Charley traced her movements, head turning with her. Once she and the rabbit were aligned, however, his gaze was forced to the prey. He needed to make sure Aspen got something in her belly, even if he couldn't. It gave her not one but two attempts of a slip, but each time the grey female brought it into check. She gave him the go, and though usually it would have been ignored, and perhaps he'd have been as stubborn as to let it go further before leaping into action. HER words, however, set him off faster than even his own instinct, and he sprung out after it. The hare got not more than a few feet away before the massive male crushed its hind legs beneath his paws, leaning down to deal a swift bite to the spine and killing it at once. 
Blue eyes gleaming, he turned and pranced back to Aspen. Bowing in front of her dramatically, he laid the rabbit gently at her paws with a sly smile, winking and pulling himself up, only just brushing her shoulder as he passed.
        "Feast, my angel, you deserve it."
MY angel, that had an even better ring than just angel.
So further the obsession deepened.
