Bearclaw Valley I'm not lazy, I'm on energy-saving mode

The female looked surprised that he could understand her. The raptor was a bit perplexed at that, since they spoke the same language. Of course, he responded. Ridge had met enough creatures to know that many of them spoke, though every once in a while, he came upon some that didn't. 

He was thoughtful as she admitted that she wished she could fly. Ridge rather liked soaring through the sky, but he didn't realize anyone else was envious of it. I wish I could take on a bison, he said in return. He liked the taste, but he only ever got some when the wolves had finished with their share. He'd eat it all the time if he could kill one. But, raptors were generally lone creatures. Even if they did fly in flocks, they probably still couldn't take on a bison.
