So it would seem that his time as a loner had carved him into an effective hunter. She had sharpened her own skills some too, but not to the precision he showed. She bobbed her head then squinted briefly at him when he offered her first go at the meat. It is your kill, she muttered in a half-hearted protest, but she wouldn't waste time bickering over it. A freshly killed deer rested cooling at her paws, so she was hasty in digging in her teeth.

The taste was very welcome and in her momentary bliss, she felt relief run through her. This would make the hours to follow much easier and for that, she was thankful. While doing this, she listened to him and his.. offer, which brought her back to focus; she would answer him soon.

Amekaze quartered off a hunk of the deer for herself and drug the bloodied meat a short ways aside, glancing at him so that he could get his first share. She hadn't touched many of the most prized organs so he could have his pick. When there was no hierarchical rule to who got the best pieces, she opted to go by just letting him have first choice.. if he wanted it.

I.. perhaps that would not be a poor choice, she eventually replied and licked her bloodied chops. She felt a little daunted by any companionship that would last for more than a fleeting interaction mostly because she had been on her own since the summer now. Yet, he seemed like suitable enough company--and quite kind, especially for a loner, which caught her off-guard more than she was willing to admit, but even the stubborn Amekaze couldn't deny the appeal of something more warm than a burrow all to herself.

If we stay near here tonight, we can easily cache whatever is left and know that it will not be immediately scavenged out from under us, the dark female reasoned for it was another bonus of sticking.. together. She resumed eating her fill and watched him keenly in what was perhaps a somewhat new light. If she would be sharing proximity with him, she ought to understand all she could.
