Rosewater Oasis fear the vulture and the vulture will come

While thought the greedy vulture seemed to listen, he was only half attentive. Stash gems. Get food. Essentially, such was all he heard. But that was all he needed to hear.

Swiping away the jackrabbit, he ran the tip of his beak along the flesh, slicing it clean open as to have better access to the warm meat inside. Before taking a bite, he glanced momentarily towards the coyote. I find tree soon.. then make nest. It was an uncommon thing for his kind, but it would only ensure the gems' safe‐keeping. 

When the coyote heard his words, Scel would return full attention upon his meal.
