Ocean's Breath Plateau Little Hunter

Suddenly the once-dead squirrel squealed in fear and Rolayne jerked back in response. Rodyn set it down on the ground, where it attempted to flee, but it was obvious something was wrong with it. Dad instructed him to feel the earth, listen to the sounds. He didn't quite understand that. 

He pawed at the ground next to the struggling squirrel, reveling in its little sounds of pain and terror. He leapt towards it, jaws almost catching on the tail, but the prey still had a lot of fight left in it. Rolayne would continue the back and forth dance a few times before lifting a paw and bringing it down quickly on the squirrel, then retreating just as fast. 

A bark of both frustration and excitement came from his maw as he glanced at Rodyn. He loved to chase things that ran, but this thing was just writhing in place, even as much as it attempted to get away. He just wasn't sure what to do with it if it wasn't running.
