Heloise bent down to crush the cougar's windpipe and Fracture stepped back. He heard a hushed mutter from her lips, but could not make out the words. His head tilted with confusion, but he knew the woman liked to keep her secrets and he'd already agreed to leave her to them. She looked up at him then, and Fracture could see what looked like sadness or regret in her eyes. “It was… a male. No children. No cubs I could smell on him.” The dark male scoffed quietly, it mattered little to him if it did have a family. Cougars seemed to be everywhere as of late, and it had made it's bed when it crossed their scent border. "It's just a cat." He told her, taking a step towards her. "It was what was needed to be done." Hopefully she'd understand, and not think badly of him for wanting it dead.

Heloise leaned down to put her muzzle under the cat's arm, and Fracture moved in as well. However before he'd help her hoist the cat he'd move with the intent to press his nose against one of the scrapes she'd earned - if she'd let him. "You okay?" Not wanting to intrude too much into her personal bubble, Fracture wouldn't let the touch last long. Moving around the cat's other side, he lowered himself to the ground. His muzzle shoved hard under the cat's other armpit and he wiggled his body to force the cat over his head and onto his back. It was lopsided and awkward to carry, and so the man shifted his body weight so that some of the cougar would move towards Heloise's side. Together they'd be able to take the prize back.

It didn't make sense to him however that she'd not want the coat for herself; Heloise talked of taking it back for their pack-mates to use. Fracture's brow furrowed in confusion. "It will not harm Winterfell if you kept the trophy for yourself. It is cold here - this pelt could warm your den at night. The bones can be used in crafting or even traded to other wolves. Our pack-mates will survive without; there is no shortage of cats lately if they are keen to earn their own." The more Fracture got to know Heloise, the more she confused him. What kind of warrior gave away their spoils? If the pack as a whole could make use of the corpse he'd understand, for it was their duty to help Winterfell thrive. But to give luxury items to random pack-mates, who would likely never return the favor? Fracture shook his head.
