Bones Turned to Stones

She didn't seem to budge an inch at his attempt. That was a bit unsatisfying. Maybe his words were needing some work or his mood needed to change? He ignored the thought for now and let them float away when she took a step back in mirror to him. This caused a flutter in him that he didn't know was there. The little game they were playing made him want to do nothing but keep playing. She was such an exquisite butterfly in his eyes, flitting about and showing off her colors.A flicker of joy crossed his expression but then faded, still showing the almost emotionless look. She seemed interested in hunting so he would take her to his little set up. True he wasn't a good hunter but he had laid out a few traps near a rabbit den earlier to try and grab their attention.

Her voice brought him out of his thoughts once more when she noted her usefulness. He wondered why she was unable to hunt and figured it might be that she was sickly like him. The idea making a settling spot in his stomach since he hadn't noticed the way her gate was. The sound of a rumble echoed in the quiet between them and it did almost make him lose his composure. Though he held it together and only let another flicker cross. If she was observant she might notice but he was quick to send the emotion away. As soon as that happened, as if to cover the noise, she accepted his offer well what to him meant she was accepting his offer.

"Rabbits, Assuming they haven't finished off my setup and moved elsewhere." He mused and waited for the questions that were soon to follow. He waved his tail at her as he turned toward the field he'd just arrived from. He was hoping the trap would last but he hadn't been there in a few sun lights. In fact he hadn't even ventured that way since setting it. "I have to confess.. I'm not that big on hunting either. I have neither the stamina or the weight to take down large prey. So I settle for smaller ones which still satisfy." His voice was now a bit sad but not in the same moment. It was almost like a tune that has been heard so many times that the emotion of it just rolls over you in a easy fashion.
