Impatience, Boredom and Choking on Fur (Sheerrun)

Since his successful hunt Eilan was becoming a terror to the remaining wildlife that lingered in the winter prairie.  Hunting helped him stave off the boredom… and the loneliness.  Gale had yet to return with his father and Illie… well she was no where to be seen.  He had a feeling something had happened but he hadn't quite worked up the courage to ask what.  Eilan didn't really want to know the answer… but it was keeping him from any kind of closure.

The boy paused to gaze at the snow falling lightly from the sky, his tongue darting out to try and catch a few flakes.  Ok, time to decide what was on the menu today.  Sniffing about he started searching for signs of possible prey on the dreary, winter morning.
