The Sunspire I got a heart like a truck

just for fun - lmk if there's any issues with this and I can adjust. She had a thing she needed to test :D. Feedin a wolverine a little monkshood lolol, tag for reference

Fennec had finally found a test case for the flowers she'd discovered. A single scent of them had set her fur to tingling, and something innate told her they were a plant to be treated with care. She just didn't know how much.

She remembered passing the kill on her way to Epoch and the scent of wolverine that still lingered. She wondered if it would possibly come back if more food was to be found.

Fennec carefully laced a rabbit with the herbs, then ensured the scent of blood and thick mud would hide both traces of her and the hidden test. She planted it and settled in to wait.

If any wolves came along she'd have stopped them. She wouldn't leave something like this unattended, but she could tell the thing that came calling wasn't a wolf. It had the heavy, shuffling sound of something else, but it wasn't until she heard the guttural sounds of eating that she was sure. Fennec's stomach clenched in anticipation, but she forced herself to stay in hiding. Not yet.

She waited a while after silence fell. First there'd been eating... then a pause. Then a few odd shuffles and a small, confused keening. She didn't know if it was just sick or if it had left and Fennec didn't want to risk it attacking her.

When she finally did come out to investigate, it was to find the rabbit gone and the wolverine stiffening near the space where it had been. Fennec wrinkled her nose at the scents. She couldn't quite feel guilty but it clearly hadn't been a pleasant death. She'd put quite a bit of the flower in the trap but still - it was way stronger, and way deadlier, than she'd expected.

She would tell @Germanicus as soon as she returned. Right now she inspected the unfortunate victim, intent on learning everything she could (and ensuring all traces of the cause were truly gone).
