It does not take long for her to come upon the carcass. She lingers in the shadows long enough to discern that it has been abandoned. Unmarked, unclaimed—hers, for now.
Many had already discovered the long dead moose, but there was enough for her there. She does not abandon her caution, sniffing to inspect the food she had found. Unspoiled, and it carried no poisons. No trick, only a rare stroke of fortune. Nature was rarely so kind.
She circles halfway around her find before she hunkered down to begin to tear into what would fuel her journey for days to come. If she sensed the silent beast that watched in the distance, she provided no direct indication of it. Her attentions were divided, half of it upon the wilderness surrounding her even as she gorged.
