fixing a little mistake

Aureus waited with baited breath to see if he'd be rejected. His mind was swirling with alternatives each worse than the last. He wasn't going to get what he wanted with brute strength. Even if he did manage to sneak into the pack for a morsel or two of food it would only bring ruin down on the struggling empire. The last thing his family needed was war at their doorstep.

Aureus barely stopped his sigh of relief when she spoke. She was fine with giving him enough food to feel full in return for the rabbit hides, four squirrels and a pheasant. "It's a deal. The rabbit hides are yours. Are you wanting to go hunting for the squirrels and the pheasant then?"

He glanced up as a bear wandered into their little gathering and he nodded briefly in greeting.
