Spoken from the Heart

"You mean you hunted a rabbit and ate it yourself without giving it to the pack first." , he said, with no indication of Happy. She had done a Bad. Called it.

Leila looked between the rabbit, and Shadow, trying to pair his words together.

"Sí... la familia es primera. Lo siento, Shadow."
She thought 'pack' meant family, because she had never known what a real pack was. After all, she did have no one else after the flood.
Leila softly padded over to the hare, it with a shredded leg she desperately wanted to finish, but instead of satisfying her stomach, she picked up the rabbit, and placed it at Shadow's paws.

".., iuventus."
That caught her ear. It sounded like 'joven' which meant 'young'.

"You are expected to first hunt for the whole pack, deposit it in one of the caches. Then only are you permitted to hunt for yourself."

Watching him make different indications and iconic gestures helped Leila get a gist of what her leader was saying. No food for her. Family first. Food for her next.

"Capris,"
'Understand', which was 'comprende' in spanish.

She nodded her fluffy little white head, and then he proceeded to ask her again, in English.

"I..understand? ", she said, with a light hilt of question in her voice for confirmation from the silver male that she had responded correctly.
