Aeil didn't say anything to Dragon's strategy. All she did was give a solemn nod as she began to focus and zone in on the calves. Their target was definitely spot on as Dragon began to start his half of the plan. She prowled towards the plump babies, slowly avoiding the wind so they wouldn't catch her scent. It was a good thing her pelt was so dark. She blended in with what shadows were provided by the afternoon sun and the trees nearby. After seeing Dragon's signal, she struck.
It didn't take long for the female to catch up with the tall male. She raced like her life depended on it, gracefully chasing the delicious, succulent pieces of meat that sped away from her. The chase was what exhilarated Aeil, making her drive for her food even more ravenous. A snarl escaped her, causing her to sneer and making her face look...deformed in a way. It was definitely unusual, but she didn't think or care about it as she zeroed in on the two main pieces of buffalo that were trying to flee. The dumb animals had run together, not with their mothers, and that was their downfall. She leaped in the air, grabbing the hind flanks of one and pulling it down. Once she had snapped its neck and severed the windpipe, she dashed off for the other one.
Zigzags were made in the thick grass as she aimed for her next target. Weak bleeps and whines came from the calf, hoping its mother would attempt to save it from an early death. Aeil had other plans for it however, and they were put into effect when she finally reached her last prize. Her teeth snapped playfully at its hind legs, making it panic even more and become all in a tither before tripping itself up and falling. Aeil took this opportunity by the horns and quickly bit down on the neck as she reached its front. Life was cut short by her fangs and with pride, she dragged the claimed calf back with her.
She laid it next to her other calf, lifeless with no evidence of light in its dark eyes. The dark female gave a loud howl, indicating that the deeds were done and they could proceed to leave. Aeil waited until Dragon had retreated to her, grabbed the other carcass by the throat, and padded away from the oncoming bulls before she did the same. The pair raced off into the forest, where the thickness of the foliage would be too much for the fathers of the dead calves. Once they made to a peaceful patch of green, Aeil lowered her catch and laughed breathlessly to Dragon. "That...was amazing..." she said, regaining her breath and padding towards him, she nuzzled his neck tenderly. Pulling back, her dark blue eyes twinkled as she met his gaze. She wagged her tail behind her lazily as she spoke again. "We should definitely hunt together more often, Dragon...You were incredible." Slowly, she turned back to her catch and lowered herself to the ground, waiting for him to do the same before digging into her lunch.
-FADE BLACK-
Aeil's stomach was full when she finished with her calf. The meat had been delicious, even better than she had thought it would be like. Her mouth, chest, nose, and paws were all stained with blood, and she had no shame. Aeil was a messy eater, had always been since she was a pup. It was one of those things that she hadn't outgrown as an adult. Now, as she licked the lingering blood from her lips, she looked up to observe Dragon. "How was it for you, love?" she gently asked, tail wagging side to side across the grass as her curiosity got the best of her. "I hope you enjoyed it just as much as I did." A blood stained smile ran across her maw, brightening her features without even trying. It had been a good day.
The day had passed on as the two had eaten their fill of the calves. With it went the sun, bringing the night sky after it left. It made Aeil yawn, making her realize that after swimming, hunting, and finally eating, that she was exhausted. She rose from her spot on the ground, padded a few steps away from the dead animals, and settled on another spot of unoccupied grass. Looking over at Dragon, she said, "Will you join me for a good night's sleep? I won't object if you do." Her dark blue eyes became light blue, holding the twinkles that naturally came with them. He chose to rise and lay next to her, wrapping his tail around her before lowering his head to his paws. Aeil did the same, nuzzling his cheek before closing her eyes. She really liked him. It may not have been said, but she hoped that he could tell that she hadn't felt like this towards anyone else other than him. That was how she wanted it to be. For a long time? She wouldn't that one bit. "I really do like you, Dragon..." she whispered, eyes still closed as sleep began to take over. If he said anything to her after that, her ears would perk before she fell into slumber without a fight.
-EXIT Aeil-
