Shadewood all at once

Anatha's hackles prickled as the boy made his bold claim over the carcass, but she was still all the same. "can't."  She said at last, for the carrion was the first meal she had come across in a couple days, and the area was empty, save for the few small creature she had found here and there. Sitting again, she added after a moment, "won't steal. I'll wait." There was no way that she was letting this chance slip, and no way that the boy could strip every last nutrient from the fallen beast. She'd wait for him to leave, and then surely she'd find something.
