Wapun Meadow do as infinity

The minutes ticked by with no sign of prey, large or small. Pied's stomach pinched. She wasn't tired at the moment, yet she knew that roaming around like this would eventually take a toll. When she felt that thirty minutes had elapsed, she decided to cut the hunt short and return to pouncing mice. It was better than nothing and required very little energy expenditure.

"I'm sorry our search wasn't more fruitful," she said regretfully to Ame even as she slowed to a stop. "Let's snack on as many mice as we can find," she said, trying to inject some optimism into the statement. A little food was better than no food at all.

Trading a hungry, tight-lipped smile with her partner, Pied pivoted and turned back, visions of small, crunchy mice dancing in her head.
