Ouroboros Spine pick me up

Kausiut too was drawn to bones, but her motivation was not in line with Sialuk's. She recognized the shape of the bones and having played with plenty of such before, the first association was food. True - this one smelled somewhat stale and there was not much meat on it (if any at all), but food was food, no matter in what form it came your way. 

Therefore she pretended to listen, even mustered up a comically all-too-serious face, while her older sibling spoke. This charade payed off, the desired item was pushed in her direction and without a further ado, she pounced and swallowed 
Death whole. In her haste, however, she missed the fact that the bone was bigger than her oral cavity. The bone got lodged between her palate and molars, nearly obstructing her airways. 

Kau shook her head, saliva flying everywhere, pawing at her muzzle and coughing. Her gasps for air grew more desperate the more panicked she became.
