Don't Need Help

His silver eyes grew wide when she suddenly bounded up and dropped into a play bow, his hackles raising slightly at her sudden movement. He backed up slowly, ears flattened against his skull, but he did not flee from her. The fact was that he needed food, and he wasn't that foolish as to turn it down completely. She nuzzled his chin and he let out another warning growl, baring his little puppy teeth at her touch. He didn't need to be comforted! He was a big boy and he could do it all by himself. She asked if he had hunted before and he shuffled on his paws slightly, eyes shifting away from the stranger. Well, he had tried, but he hadn't been very successful. He had been able to catch little mice and such, but it wasn't enough to feed a growing boy. His belly rumbled again and he took a few tentative steps towards her, sniffing the air like she had. All he could detect was the sharp scent of froze and ice, and he snorted at the pain that stung his nasal passages. Head shook back and forth with vigor, and he picked up his bangle clad leg to paw at his nose. Ouchie. That wasn't very pleasant. Itri's gaze went up to the woman, trying to do as she did. He stood nice and tall and tried to smell the air again, but only had the same responses. The boy had yet to answer his question, no words leaving his mouth still. He just shrugged his gold flecked shoulders, he had kinda hunted. But he was fine, he was good at everything!
