Firefly Ravine BWP3: PREY OPPORTUNITY

Directly after howling, Sen had dived back into the carcass. She'd wasted no time acquiring her fill and, after others had arrived, she'd even offered a few warning snaps to make sure no one got too close to the section that she was working on. It had continued like that, too, with naught even the smallest of words leaving her mouth. She'd heard words being sent her way, but had focused on filling her stomach before answering to anything. Rude, perhaps, but reasonable all the same. The new mother couldn't let any of the more nutrient parts be stolen away from her, and so she'd gorged herself on them right away. When her stomach had finally reached its filling point, however, she'd sat back on her haunches and allowed for her tongue to dart out and lick over her maw. Still, though, she hadn't answered right away. Her gaze had instead trailed off in Rana's direction, a silent snarl overtaking her features as her lips were pulled back. Though wordless, her message was clear: you will receive nothing. Thankfully, she hadn't needed to send the same threat towards Denali, for he'd left without so much as a single word—just like a good boy.

The Gorgon's gaze eventually lingered upon Zephyr, observing him for a moment before allowing his earlier query to rise up within her mind. "They're fine," she'd answered. "Bothersome little brats, but they're growing quick enough." Well, she thought so anyways. Never before had Sen been around children so young, and so she didn't actually have any examples to base their growth off of. No matter, she was sure that they were fine. They were her children, after all, so surely there couldn't be anything wrong with them. Thereafter, she'd looked to Sadie, rolling a shoulder back in the process. "Better after finding this body," was her honest response. "I needed this." As did everyone, she was sure.
