Redhawk Caldera Made in the dark

He had been so focused on the task at hand, he hadn't thought about whether or not Towhee would get bored. It wasn't until she audibly spoke to him that he paused, turned to her, and nodded. -They live here,- he signaled, stating what was probably obvious to her anyway. -You can help. We need to dig them up.- He didn't need her help, as he felt perfectly capable of doing this on his own, but if she offered, he wasn't going to turn it her down.

With a grin, he went back to digging, claws uprooting more and more of the earth. The smell grew stronger, and eventually he found what he was looking for. Here, beneath all the dirt, was a batch of delicacies: tiny, pink, baby shrews. There were about twenty of them, and he looked to Towhee. -Jackpot!- The made tiny soft noises, the small babies, and their parents were nowhere to be found. It wasn't exactly a feast, but it was something yummy!
