Redhawk Caldera fishy business

all welcome :D maybe @Ashton @Gale or @Leontii ? :3 or another thread with mommy or daddy @Finley @Peregrine :D

After the storm, things had quieted down for the pup. He'd had a lot of frightening experiences and so he tended to stay fairly close to home, but sometimes he dared venture out, when his parents accompanied him, or when he found someone else to. At times, he'd go out alone, but he never went far and often came scrambling right back home when things got too much.

Today the pup sat outside of the den when he suddenly noticed something off not far from the den. He looked about him to make sure that nothing scary would happen when he ventured out into the open, and then trotted towards the oddity in the landscape.

It turned out to be a half-eaten fish. What the pup didn't know was that it was one of the fish that had died when the lake had been partially drained, and it had been taken along by another predator. After only a few bites they had decided it was no good, and they'd dumped it here, for the pup to find.

Although often his meat was still tenderised for him, the pup did eat meat, and so he easily identified it as 'food'. Sadly, he did not identify it as 'probably not a very good idea to eat', since it was rotten and smelly. The pup wrinkled his nose as he smelled the fish, realising that something was weird about it, but he did not realise what. And so the pup arched his neck towards it and took a careful bite from the smelly, rotten fish.

Lol, I nearly put Funley. xD I`mma just jump in here and assume this is the plot you wanted unu

Gale was loping after the scent of a rabbit, when he scented Finley (ahem Funley xD) and Elwood`s pup and lost the trail. He sighed and gave it up as a bad job, instead deciding to go and greet the young wolf.

What`s a pup doing out here? he wondered, and inwardly shrugged.

The pup, he had noted, was also named Elwood (Junior). However, Gale had seen most of the Pack refer to him as Elijay. As he crested the last hill between him and the pup, he was rehearsing what he`d say already. Gale was like that.

"Hey, Elijay, how are you doi-" he stopped short as the pup took a bite from a rotting fish on the windswept land. He yapped in alarm. "Elwood, don`t swallow that!"

He rushed towards the (not much) younger wolf in a desperate bid to stop him eating the potentially deadly meat.

Oh, for the Spirit`s sake, what do I do? I can`t let him eat that filthy meat!

*hopes Gale will save Elijay`s life so they can be bffs* xD Sorry for the short post, it`s for impact owo 

well, she is fun! xD sorry for Eljay, he's a scaredy cat! :D

"am nam nam," the pup went while he chewed on the bits of fish... until he actually tasted what he was eating, and realised how yucky it tasted. The pup pulled a weird face as he opened his mouth and was about ready to spit out the meat when another wolf approached him. The pup stared wide-eyed at the other adult. He didn't think of his run-in with Sebastian and how his mother had tried to teach him not to be scared at all; he was too terrified to think logically at all.

Eljay pressed himself to the ground when the adult rushed towards him, not sure what was going on. He just knew he was doing something wrong, but he didn't understand what. He spat out the fish -- though not realising that was what he was asked to do, but simply because it was yucky-tasting -- and stared up at the adult from the ground, pressing his head against the ground and ears flat against his skull. He looked up from the corners of his eyes, big eyes shimmering with a potential teary nervous breakdown while he sobbed, with big noisy sobs between his s'es: "Elwoof s-s-sabby!"
