The Great Marmot Standoff [Azure]

Dómari worked on cleaning up the trap while the boy took care of severing the tail off the rat. He had worked long and hard to braid his sinew rope and he wasn't going to leave it if he could help it. He trotted back over to the stone and carefully worked the boys knot free until at last he had his makeshift rope. Working to roll it back into something he could carry he returned to the boy who had the rat separated and ready to go.

"Well, maybe we'll run into each other again some time. You have the makings of a great hunter!" He set the sinew down on top of the rat then worked his jaws so he could pick up both. He felt pretty confident there was a pack nearby or else the child would not have been out this far.
