Ouroboros Spine lii. a lifeless face that you'll soon forget

*greedily snags* <3

many do not like to rely on the actions of others, for it makes them feel weak to not be able to provide for themselves. but thankfully, the strength of the pack is behind the two mothers as they tend to their broods. considering the fact that there are now 7 new mouths to feed [4 from löté's litter and 2 from kukutux's, as well as the return of the firsthunter] shikoba finds herself hunting almost every day to bring back something fresh.

today, she has found herself 2 partridges, plump and ready to be defeathered and eaten. while shikoba held both from her jaws, she sees that the creamy woman who once leaned on her is now at the cache. it is a good sight to know that the woman is keeping herself well-fed in order to ensure the best nutrition for her children. though, a little yip from the native lets löté know that she isn't alone.

shikoba stops for a moment before setting the carcasses down gently. "want something fresh?" eating from caches never did harm, but stagnant blood and stiff meat is hardly appetizing when compared to a fresh kill.
