Snowforest Taiga Shigoto

Aquene had been startled by the seemingly sudden appearance of the other canine, her eyes widening as she tried to offer a greeting through the mass of rabbits collected in her maw. It did not go as planned, and she found herself setting the creatures at the base of her feet. “Hello.” She greeted more formally, believing it to be only good manners that she should express until otherwise presented with evidence to the contrary. He asked for a share of her kill and she hesitated for a moment, looking down at the rabbits with a pang of confliction on her features. She was so hungry, but… sharing surely could not hurt? Perhaps this was why the universe had blessed her with two kills?
 
It costs nothing to be kind. Her mother’s words rang almost mournfully in her ears. It felt like it certainly did cost something, but she had already made up her mind when she saw the pleading look on his features, and in that moment sympathy panged in her heart. How was she supposed to turn down giving away a rabbit to a face like that? Clearly he has having a hard time finding food and she had been so fortunate. “I… I suppose I could part with one.” She offered back as she nudged one of them forward with her nose for the man to collect. “What is your name?” She asked, figuring the man might indulge her in a polite conversation in exchange for the rabbit… at least, she hoped.
