A meal, maybe. He was not hungry.

He saw the way Akmaaksi seemed to pout and hide in the mouth of the ulaq, and he moved to grab the dead thing as a trophy, to wave about and cheer her up; and when that inevitably would not work (as it would only further tarnish the coat of the thing) it was thrown without fanfare at the wall.

Grabbing for the thing one last time, he used all of his power to throw it as far from the ulaq as possible before settling beside sister.
