Firefly Glen The Clouds Burst

Mal was pretty keen on getting in and out as fast as possible.  Just too much trouble recently for him to feel comfortable.  Hence, he didn't even notice the guy sitting there.  Heck, if anyone was this close to the warren, wouldn't they have gone after the rabbit when it came back?  He probably would have had a few things to say about that if Mal had known.  But no, Mal went about his business until he revealed himself and interrupted.

He blinked at the guy, paw paused in the middle of swiping away the snow.  Uh.  Do you not hunt rabbits?  These things always have another entrance.  If you just hunt deer, good luck. You'll need it.  He looked back down to the hole he was digging.  It was just snow that he'd dug up so far, which was a good sign.  He looked back down and after digging a bit more, he broke through to air.  Ha. See?  A quick look to the other guy, then back to the hole. But at that point he stopped.  Normally he'd go about trying to see if he could get some kind of movement in there (even if lately there'd been less luck at spooking something out, maybe there was damage to the tunnels in all the earthquakes) but he wasn't when this dude was just lurking about.  Mal wasn't about to go do all the work then have some dude snipe his kill or something like that.  So did you want something or whatever?
