Gryphon's ears flicked towards the sound of approaching pawsteps just before the muffled bark of one of his brothers reached him. He immediately dropped back to his paws and spun so his back was to the tree. Having found the possibility of a place all his own, he was reluctant to share it even with one of his brothers. He shuffled his feet as Dragon approached. "Uhh, hey Dragon," he returned, then pricked his ears forward in interest as Dragon dropped a rabbit at his feet. "Wow, you can catch rabbits?" Envy colored his round-eyed gaze as he studied the dead rabbit. He'd been stuck in his den sick for so long, he'd clearly fallen far behind his brothers on the learning curve. He'd apparently missed out on an awful lot. "How'd you do it? Did Mom teach you how?" Man, he'd need to find someone to teach him how to hunt stuff so he could catch up with Dragon, and then he'd be able to hunt for his brothers and mom and take care of them instead of the other way around. He still felt guilty for taking up so much of his mom's time and attention. He wanted to make up for it, but he had a lot of work to do first it seemed.
