Still growling, Ferrous tugged and tugged at the leg. She pounced from side to side, jerking and straining backwards in the hopes of moving the carcass even a teeny little bit. It didn't budge. Not even a little.
Aurum appeared and while Ferrous was still trying to drag the skeletal carcass, fell on it ravenously. Well, poop. She dropped the leg and eyed her brother dejectedly. He'd ruined her surprise! Sure, she hadn't made it very far - or anywhere at all, really - but she'd been looking forward to surprising everybody with what she'd found. And now he'd gone and ruined her plan. Well, at least she could still surprise Argenti and-
Aw, no! Ferrous kicked the deer's leg in frustrated disappointment as Argenti's voice reached her ears. The pool of wolves she could surprise with her prize was growing smaller by the minute!
Well...maybe there was a way to save the situation. After all, she had been the one to find the carcass. If not for her, no one would be eating. Yeah, that was a good way to think about it! It may not have been a grand surprise, but she was still responsible for this meal.
She puffed out her chest and proudly answered her siblings' question. "Nope, I found it! I dunno where everyone else is, but maybe we can gnaw off a leg and drag it back? Once we're done?" There really wasn't a lot of meat left, but the legs seemed to have the most on them. Whatever creatures had brought it down (and the scavengers that had undoubtedly followed) had stripped all the good, meaty parts clean. That was okay. What was left was tough and gristly, but it was still meat. And that was better than bugs.

Ferrous has a saber-toothed snow leopard companion named Zahir. If she isn't
mentioned IC it's safe to assume she isn't there.
