She ravaged the rabbit, to the skin and bones. It wasn't a fulfilling meal, but it satisfied the hunger she had for the winter so far. It felt pleasant to finally have something in her stomach, and for a second her mood had improved.. Though when she heard a voice, her guard switched on, and she focused her attention on the intruder. It was clear she was not welcoming him by the bristle's on Desdemona's back, and the slow growl that erupted from her throat.

"Halt yourself." Her voice demanded, as she stood up in an imposing manner. Her head held high and a deep, serious glare at him. She was not pleased, "this is claimed land." She says this, but her scent alone surrounded the forest. Technically, for now, it was 'her' claimed land until Morningside returns. Until then, she would defend, even against an intruder like him who only desired a meal, and a friendly hunt. Desdemona wouldn't permit that in this forest, however.
