Sleepy Fox Hollow beschwichtigen

Their work had been done. The threat had been eliminated from their home. Emmerich felt himself grow stronger with pride at having accomplished such a thing. Isa could never compare to that show of strength, he believed.

Mahler said that they would take the body to the borders to leave it as a show for the others. The boy looked to his father curiously. He wondered why they wouldn’t save the meat and eat it. It bled like their other prey, so he believed it would taste roughly the same. The coyote might have been gangly, but it still had sinew beneath its coat and meat that would go to waste on the edges of the hollow. Emmerich did not ask his father, though. He wanted to show that he agreed with their plans.

At the gargoyle’s sighting of the tooth, Emmerich pointed his snout toward it with interest. He stepped to where it was and plucked it from the ground in his mouth. That was his trophy that he would take back to show Anselm and Isa. He looked to Mahler, ready to take the body to the border.
