@Chip i hope this area is okay?
Dakarai had finally found a good source of water, and eagerly bounded forward to the edge. Dipping his head down, he lapped at the cool source of hydration, tail happily swaying behind him. Pausing for breath he sniffed the air, and he could almost howl with joy. He had caught the scent of a hare. quickly taking a few more mouthfuls of water, he left the edge of the lake and sniffed again. The gopher was somewhere around the lake, but he couldn't quite pinpoint it. Moving in the direction he thought the scent came from, he finally spotted the chubby creature waddling toward the water. Quite comically the prey finally sensed his presence and looked straight at him, stiffening with shock and fear. Dakarai lunged forward, trying to close as much distance as he could before the critter ran away from him "Not this time ya fat piece of meat" he growled and leapt forward landing.....directly in the empty spot where the gopher was only seconds ago. he looked up and saw the gopher running as fast as his fat behind could go, which was alot faster than Dakarai had expected "why does this always happen?" he asked himself and chased after the gopher, getting tantalizingly close to it. Nipping with his fangs, he managed to bite hard enough for the creature to once again stiffen up and pause, allowing Dakarai to finally be upon it. He quickly sank his teeth into the fleshy neck of the gopher and clamped down. He couldn't get enough of a grip to break its neck, so instead he choked it, squeezing hard enough to cut off the air supply.
Once the gopher was limp he tore of a piece of it, smaller than he usually offered, and dug a hole in the earth. Placing the piece of meat in the hole he buried it quickly, looking around to see if someone was watching him out of habit before he bent over and closed his eyes "mother earth, feeder of wolves, creator of life, please accept my offering of thanks for this meal" he said and placed a paw over the mound for a few seconds before opening his eyes once more and moving over to his prey, eating it slowly as he savored the delicious flavor. As he ate, he was aware of the scent of a female. he hadn't noticed it before and he quietly growled, warning whoever was there to either avoid him, or wait until he was done eating.
