Blacktail Deer Plateau A-Hunting We Will Go

"It's even better because we enjoyed it together," he said with a playful wink. He watched the girl dig into the carcass, taking a huge chunk of meat he would have never believed such a skinny girl could eat if he hadn't seen it himself. He'd never seen a girl eat with such enthusiasm. He didn't care if she was messy and unladylike. He was just happy she was happy.

'I'm glad you like it, cause from now on I'm gonna make sure you get to eat like this everyday,' he silently promised her.

"Leave some for the rest of us, piggy," Koda teased the girl. He tore himself a strip of meat from the deer's haunch and swallowed it whole. He ate quickly, not because he was in a hurry to leave but because he didn't want to have to share with any scavengers. He'd already spotted a pair of crows in the branches overhead, leering down at the carcass with hunger in their beady black eyes. Soon, the rest of the flock would show up and they'd be up to their ears in dirty, noisy birds.
