Redtail Rise XLIV

Lilia, bathed in the creature's blood, took a moment to groom some of the gore from her pelt before she felt satisfied enough to reach out to Augur and groom him momentarily as well. Ego swollen with power, she felt they had a few moments to enjoy together before they ate. Few dared to challenge the wolves of the Rise for a meal, and would have to have trespassed in order to even come near their kill. 

The offer to eat first was met with some surprise, but gave her some confidence. She pushed her muzzle against his in a gesture meant to be an invitation; they should eat together, she thought. Sup on the flesh of their kill, fill their bellies, and then call in the others so they might feast too. She knew quite well that the food she ate would likely be offered within hours to the children who would need the nutrition more than she did.
