The Heartwood Heartwood Snacking

Hi! Thanks for replying so quick! :D Lets have fun with these two

It was a difficult job to find any dried meat under the skin and bones maybe the carcass had less than 10% meat on it. The white wolf put her muzzle in the depths of the animal carcass, most of it was eaten. Although she did found a bit of the softer meat all the way inside the big male deer. Her small body had some trouble to reach it but in end she could feed on the half a kilo of old meat. Her tail was moving in a bit of a wag with her findings.

The chuff made her startle. She had not even checked her surroundings! She could be eating from someone's food without her even knowing. Oh dear. She really didn't want to make anyone angry she was worn out enough. She pulled herself from the carcass with a certain swiftness. Scarlett backed off from the carcass immediately and put some more space between the male and herself. She had her ears back in submission. The first thing she noticed was a surprisingly big male standing there. Her red eyes roamed over his strong frame, from the muddy paws to ending at his yellow eyes. The females nose told her he was in a pack, although she had no clue which one.

She relaxed when his voice didn't sound angry or aggressive. Her ears popped back up in a cute away, now sparking a bit more interest in the male. Her tail moved up in a neutral stance, away from her hind legs. The words made it sound so shameful that she was eating from a rotten carcass and maybe it was, a bit. She didn't like to admit her weaknesses to a stranger. Even though the male was younger, Scarlett wasn't going to pick a fight with the bigger male. She just assumed with her little knowledge of this area that it was his carcass.

"I'm sorry for eating from your carcass... Sir?" That last bit sounded so questioning because she had not a clue how to address him. "I got too ambitious with my want for a big prey animal. It seems the herds are somewhere else but here. Just a quick snack to keep the energy flowing," she added with a light tone. Scarlett left out the part about how she wasn't that tactical nor practical in hunting just yet. Taking on a big prey alone was dangerous, she knew. Maybe the male saw it as her being bold, who knows.
