Whitefish River live fast, die young

There was no answer from the stranger, instead, he was bold enough to turn around and rip a piece of the carcass and turn to run. He heard Speedy's call for Evergreen behind him, twisting his ears to take notice but nothing more. Instead, as the stranger ran, Hiero did too. Thundering paws ripping through the ground as he and Winterbourne both try to grab a piece of the thief with furious snapping jaws to try and pin down the poacher.

Again, normally Hiero was more generous and would let the obvious hungry male take some food - but he was trying to be sneaky. With the pregnant women around, Evergreen's orders and their previous trespasser, Hieronymous wasn't feeling all that generous today. Maybe if the other than tried talking things would have gotten along a lot more smoothly but now... he was out for blood.
