Redhawk Caldera The hanging tree

At her alpha's comment, Fin had to resist the temptation to latch her jaws onto his tail and pull, starting the "death match" right then and there. If she was doomed to be crippled forever, she figured she might as well not even bother healing. But, not too soon was she distracted as they slowed and stalked forward towards the trees.

Fin cast her gaze up towards the branches overhead as they walked, her other senses working eagerly to find a target. It didn't seem to her that there were any squirrels within reach, unless either her or Peregrine learned how to climb trees in the next few minutes.

Something else did suddenly grab her attention and she paused, snapping her head swiftly to their left until her muzzle was pointing directly at the slowly waddling form of a muskrat a couple dozen yards away. The beta turned to grab Peregrine's attention by nipping at whatever part of his body was nearest to her--which just so happened to be his bum lols--before crouching even further and stalking towards the chubby overgrown rat.
