Ouroboros Spine kapvik

One boy reacts immediately, leaping for the weasel as it struggles in the grass. It freezes in place for a moment as if to feign death - but the pain it is experiencing from the broken limbs makes it gasp and twitch, so the ruse is finished as swiftly as it began. Akkuma stares after his brother, keeping his distance and catching his breath after playing so vehemently with his brother; Kigipigak watches this and assesses both of them.

Kivaluk! You have good instinct. He commends the boy, but says nothing about Akkuma who blinks owlishly at him; the weasel is meant to be a reward for good behavior here within Moonglow but also, as it still lives, the boys are meant to test themselves upon it. That there is -- before Kigipigak can get another word out, the weasel shrieks and dives from underneath Kivaluk! It is struggling to drag its hind legs with it, but trying desperately to escape; its movements are erratic enough to be hard to anticipate.

That is for you! Catch it quickly, it is in pain. That is the lesson Kigipigak is trying to impart with this pivotal first kill: that it need not be a moment of suffering. It was too bad Kigipigak hadn't thought more thoroughly on how to propose such a concept; he could have taken the boys on a hunt rather than bringing it to them.
