Qeya River her mother doesn't approve

Sakhmet saw what needed to be done if they were to eat.

She moved swiftly to make up the difference, which both worried and impressed Kigipigak; and her success was won in short order. The rabbit barely made a sound as she sank her teeth in to it. Kigipigak was proud to be the witness to this moment.

He slowed and then turned, returning to the place where he'd killed the first rabbit so that he could gather it in his teeth and make his way back to her. His lungs burned from all the running but Kigipigak knew the feeling would abate. All he could taste now was the fresh fur of the rabbit and the strong taste of blood upon his tongue.

His tail was a high banner as he joined Sakhmet, placing his kill down nearby to her own, and breathing a satisfied sigh.
