Verdigris Ravine This one Waits

S'ari was resting at the mouth of her birthing den. She wanted to get up and celebrate the birth that had happened that morning, but a yipping-howl of jubilation had been about all she could muster in her very pregnant, very fat state. Now she lay napping in the last rays of sunlight, but awoke fully, her nose twitching with the scent of fresh meat. A hare.

She peeked one eye open and saw Ko'a coming toward her, carrying the food in her jaws, and grinned. Aww, for S'ari? This one shouldn't have. And she batted her eyes prettily at the woman. Of course, she had no idea if the food was for her or not, but she enjoyed teasing her cousin no matter what.
