Redtail Rise Around in the shade,

faust moves with practiced precision, staying close to dione as they bring the caribou down. his powerful body shifts to the other side, using his weight to keep the creature from escaping. the caribou bucks beneath them, hooves grazing their sides, but it’s already too weak to fight for long.
he stays silent as dione sinks her teeth into the throat, his own jaws closing around its neck, blood flowing freely. the caribou struggles less and less, its efforts growing weaker until it finally goes still beneath them.
faust pulls back, breathing heavy, eyes scanning the still form of the kill. the blood that coats their fur feels like the very essence of their survival.
