Kildeer Rest Winterkill

i am so sorry for the wait!!

The radiant graystone of Suliya's pelt captured his gaze at once, and gooseflesh made itself known across the winterwolf's body as he watched her. And though his eyes remained sly upon her, withholding their secret, he made no familiar move towards her— for Sun Eater was also on the horizon.

Ave, hunters! he greeted them boisterously. Chief, he grinned to Sun Eater. I have come to learn the ways of your chase and show you what a fine hunting partner I am. How great of an ally I am! I should like to follow you until a kill has been made.

He would only fill his belly the once, while Saatsine would eat for days. Not that they needed his help for all the blood they shed, but some of them could rest as he worked in their place.
