Honeyed Pasture we were like gods at the dawning of the world

i am too, tbh. the lovely kj made it for me~! :D *gives the maexolotl ship name a stamp of approval* ;-)

Maera assures him that she will not die on him and for a moment the leviathan worries she may think that he thinks she is incapable — where does this sudden anxiety that he has offended come from, he wonders? — but a quick glimpse in her direction assuages all of his worries for there is a small smile curling the edges of her lips. The pair, with their roles sorted out and their task presented before them move in a strange and yet natural unison. He cripples the beasts’ left hind leg while Maera claims it’s life. An eerie and familiar stillness befalls the magnificent ungulate and Axolotl’s assault ceases. Typically, a buck this size takes a whole pack to take it down but they were extremely fortunate. It is too much meat even for the two of them taking what they wish from it but what becomes it after he sates his hunger is of no concern to him. Axolotl has no pack to take it to and aside from his share of the meat he has no desire to claim it. After a few moments the leviathan glimpses up as his flame kissed companion. “Ladies first.” He invites in a rare bought of chivalry and a sweeping gesture of his muzzle over towards the corpse. Besides, the kill is hers so it is only fair that she get first pick of the spoils of their (but mostly her) victory.
