The cobras hood flashed open and Asla could feel Enki tense beside her. The cat had obviously had a bad run in with a snake in his past. The girl gave the leopard a pat on the paw and turned her attention back to Koby. He admitted that most cobras didn't know foreign tongues and she frowned for a moment before he offered to teach her some words in his own language. Koby spoke the words and Asla tried hard to memorize them. "Whoa de mÃnki jow Aslatiel Fatalis, whoa she gonzo." Asla couldn't help but burst into laughter afterwards. Oh, she had mucked that up badly. When Koby told her that she could hunt whatever she wanted and bring it back to him, the girls eyes brightened. "Will you wait here? I'll be right back!" Scrambling to her feet, Aslatiel took off into the long grass around the orchard. She sniffed for her prey, knowing almost exactly where to find it. Climbing atop a rock, she looked down into a hole and remained silent. Some time later, a fat field mouse poked its head out of the hole. She waited until it was fully out of the hole before diving forward and landing upon it. The spine snapped and the rodent died with a squeak. Finding the mouse had taken a little longer than she planned and so she hoped that Koby would still be on his rock when she padded back to it, mouse in mouth. "Speech" |
