he was in the midst of grumpily swallowing a tail, when he spotted the patched coat pass trough the trees.

the pang of anxiety was immediate - and alleviated by flapping himself up to the nearest branch. the most effective medicine for dread ( that would stop working the moment wolves learned the art of climbing. ) .

from up there yonder observed the animal, bit of mouse front in talons of one foot. he thoughtfully pecked the meat off as he watched the quadruped in what he assumed to be a hunt.

a bone - largest one in the front leg - slipped out the raven's bill, and fell to the ground beside the hunter.

yonder froze.
