Dragoncrest Cliffs Skyfire

The black she-wolf snatched up one of the rabbits, only to drop it a moment later when the commander appeared. Wildfire said nothing as Thuringwethil instructed the Kru to return to the caves. She plucked up two rabbits and hastily trotted away. The Bandrona's eyes followed her retreating figure for a moment before flicking over to her mate. She smiled gently as the Heda pulled one of the fresher kills toward herself and began to eat.

"It may be cold," she said conversationally, "but it's a time of plenty for us." Wildfire's lips pursed thoughtfully, eyes shifting away from the feeding Alpha and staring off into the distance for a few beats. She would have been several weeks pregnant by now. The subzero temperatures weren't ideal, of course, but all this meat would have done an expectant body good.

Forcefully shoving those thoughts aside—they would talk soon but right now she just wanted to enjoy supping with her partner—Wildfire dipped her head down low and began to eat the other fresh kill.
