High Hawk Season

Her tail flicked up and down at her feet as she watched him eat. It was as though he hadn't been fed in years, the way he tore into that rabbit. Her face showed only that she was listening as he spoke, absorbing every word he managed to get out. She had to wonder, how had he even survived without a pack? Without a family or somewhere to go? How could he be alive if he was alone? The mere sound of her voice had sent him running head on into a tree.

Nati smirked at his question and shook her head. "No, no pack for me." Being in a pack didn't really fit with her life plan anymore. She'd done that, barely survived it, and didn't think she ever would again. "Do you want me to help you find someone? Surely there has to be someone out there looking for you?" It was a question, not a statement. She didn't want to assume, but she simply couldn't believe he'd made it this far on his own.
