Blacktail Deer Plateau A-Hunting We Will Go

Koda felt a sneeze coming on when Kesuk tickled his nose with her feathery tail. He managed to fight it back. The last thing he wanted was to spray Kesuk's glossy black fur with germs and boogers. He'd managed not to make an ass of himself so far, he wasn't about to start before they got to have their dinner date.

Koda returned Kesuk's bow. "I would be honored, my Lady," he said, playing along. He went to work on the carcass. He sank his teeth into the fawn's soft abdomen, tearing open a hole so he could access the juicy insides. He fished out the tasty liver. It was a bit on the small side, but it was the perfect sharing size.

"Mmm," he hummed approvingly, chewing on a mouthful of meat. "This is the best liver I've had in a while." He nudged the other half toward Kesuk. "You've gotta try some," he said with an encouraging smile.
