Wapun Meadow do as infinity

When Ame declined, Pied felt insistent words surging in her throat. She pressed her lips against them, then swallowing them. With no more hesitation, she indulged herself, starting by lapping the blood and gristle from the underside of her paw. She then made quick work of the pulpy mess on the ground, ingesting a fair share of dirt along with the mouse's remains. She didn't care.

It took her only a moment to lick up the last drops of blood. When she lifted her head, she turned to watch Ame ranging off several dozen yards. Motionless, the piebald she-wolf watched as her companion went in search of other field mice. Pied winced slightly at Ame's initial failure, then waved her tail when she heard the sound of teeth crunching delicate bone. As if this noise were a cue, she began to trot to rejoin Ame.

Ame looked up even as Pied approached, a wary look in her eye. Pied slowed slightly and even glanced over her shoulder, then made a beeline toward Ame. "Should we keep trying for mice or do you want to move off in search of bigger game?" she asked. When they'd set off, neither one of them had had rodents in mind, surely, but beggars couldn't be choosers, could they? Pied would be satisfied with whatever sustenance she could get right now.
