Lunch at the pond

Esa smiled at Steel in response to his words, before Mithras joined them. Though it was impossible to read his expression, she was glad he returned her greeting. She was a little surprised that he'd approached her at all. She was sure that she'd scared him off with her clam hunting technique. But then again, he hadn't refused to participate, and if he was here now, he couldn't have been too put off. She would have loved to blab his ear off and feed him frog legs until he was bloated, but their leader was here now, and it would be rude to ignore him. Glancing at Steel when the male finally addressed Mithras, she noticed how unimpressed he looked to see the star-wolf. Curiosity tugged at her. Why did he look like that? Unable to draw any conclusions, she looked back to Mithras, before her attention was split by the approach of another pack mate. This one she certainly didn't know, though she thought she might vaguely remember him from that first meeting. The ivory-coated male would stop near the rest of them, greeting them with a joke. Esa had to hold back a chuckle, amused. She turned once more to the Alpha male as he posed a question. Surprised by the request, she entertained it for a moment. But her emerald gaze shifted to the larger animal across the pond that she'd spotted earlier. The elk was still grazing on the shallow water plants. She looked back to Mithras. "You want to catch frogs?" she asked, tilting her head, "Not that I mind, they make great snacks of course. But I've had my eye on that-" She motioned her snout toward the elk before continuing, "-for a while now. We can catch frogs any old time. Since there's a few of us here now, I bet we could catch it. I don't know about you, but I'm pretty hungry, and I haven't had a big meal like that in like pretty much forever." Catching larger prey alone was near impossible, but they could do it if they worked together. She glanced around at the wolves gathered. "Are you all up for it?" she asked, her eyes scanning over Domino, then to Steel. Would he be willing to get his paws dirty? She hoped so. Her stomach rumbled, and she was already salivating at just the thought of a big, warm, filling meal. Finally, she'd look to Mithras again. "What do you think?" she asked him, realizing she was trying to change his plans, but unable to help herself. She wasn't one to inhibit herself often, just saying what was on her mind, and right now she really wanted that elk if these guys were willing to help her. |
