Qeya River star

@Star Eater

he had butchered an old cow that'd collapsed on the edges of the herd. fetched fleshy heart from her chest and laid her hide out to dry as a gift for @Gjalla, and now he began the long trek up the river. towards the dens where star eater had been reclused for several days now.

he had not seen her, and things rested heavily on his mind. on onyx shoulders that coil sharp with sinew with each stride he takes. pushing past evergreen, crunching over snow and ice.

and just outside her den, he can see the fogging of her breath. smell her scent upon the wind that flows towards him, a rough graze across flaring nostrils. caught in-between his jaws is the heart and it is dropped to the ground by her feet when he reaches her.

nudged into a roll by his nose shortly after, insistent that she eat.
