Phoenix Maplewood There'll be things you never asked her

I'm sorry this is so late! ><

Her answer calmed the nerves in his eyes, his tail fanning the air a few seconds. The silence was peaceful after the hunt, and he could feel his adrenaline fading, as if it was seeping slowly into the earth.  Not expecting thanks, he blinked, surprised, but then smiled at her and nodded, not wanting to break the quietness of the meadow with unnecessary words. 
At the compliment, his grin grew, and he turned his head to the buck. It wasn't the biggest he had brought down, but strangely, this one felt a bit different. Maybe it was the fact they were on the move to find a new place to stay...or maybe it was the company. Swiveling his head back to the slim wolfess, his eyes sparkled with happiness. Thank you. It's one of my favorite things to do. I've always enjoyed the hunt, the feeling of freedom, the air through my fur... A longing for something unknown slipped into his voice, softening his tone as his eyes drifted over the land, almost as if he was talking to himself. As she moved forward toward the young buck, he tilted his head slightly, watching her as she lowered her head. It was almost reverrent, and he turned his eyes away, feeling as though he was interrupting something private.
The sound of her voice brought them back to her, and he bobbed his head, his tail matching hers, a lopsided grin on his face. Yes. Let's take it back to the pack. Hopefully it will be enough for them for now. He moved towards the body again, and impulsively touched his nose to the rough fur of the deer. Grabbing the throat again, he firmly bit down, making sure he had a grip on it before starting to drag it into the woods back towards his family.
