These things take time

At some point, among the chaos of the sudden chase, he heard Cloud growing something in the distance. A command, it sounded like, but Kai couldn't be certain - unaware that it wasn't intended for him - and he wasn't willing to divert from his plan to find out right now. He hardly noticed he veered away, though saw a flash of pale fur near him as he lunged for the female's throat and tried to tighten his grip on her. Beneath him Kai felt her bucking, kicking for dear life as she tried to struggle away from him. Luckily Cloud seemed to grab hold of one of her hind limbs, and her kicking slowed as he grip tightened. Slowly he felt her grow slack as he managed to sink his fangs deeper into her throat, rewarded with the bitter taste of blood dripping down his tongue, and finally he felt her legs give out from beneath her. As swiftly as he could, he leapt aside - lest he be crushed by her - and hoped Cloud had the foresight to do the same. Luckily her herd had already scattered, and though he didn't know how deeply they would mourn for their loss he was grateful they hadn't witnessed it. Breathing hard, Kai pulled back and struggled to catch his breath, watching as the life drained from the beautiful caribou before him. After a moment of silence, he tipped his head to Cloud, lapping blood from his lips. "Good job," he spoke conversationally, the corners of his lips twisting in a slight smile. "She should feed us both well, and whoever else might be hungry and listening. Unless you have a group of your own nearby who might enjoy a feast?" Kai quirked a curious brow, wondering now about his vaguely familiar scent. |
