Lost Creek Hollow The prowler needs a jump

Good thing for Joss that Nunataq entirely missed the paragraph, where she as a resident of Lost Creek Hollow was entitled to harrass, bully and torment the stick-insect-wolf. Basically be a jerk to him and no one would tell her off. We would never find out, how she would have abused her privileges, but with her conscience being of inconsistent nature you never know.

Anyway - the moment the guy moved aside Nunataq bolted to the spot, where the shards of the once hoof were lying and dug through the remnants, sniffing greedily at every part. The brief inspection, however, was fruitless, because she was long past the age, when bare-bones were fun, and she shot a disappointed look in the bony fellow's direction, as if he was to be blamed for that.

Then she noticed that Mona seemed to have something in mind (people and canines alike have this particular expression, when an idea shines through the eyes and enlightens the entire face) and came up to her, ready to find out, what she was up to, join the cause and find, if that ended up with something beneficial to her.
