I wanna be like you-u-u

Aureus resisted the urge to laugh at the scene playing out before him. Deus struggled with the squirrel, it was not intent on simply being put to rest but such was the case with all animals. No one wanted to be eaten, he could admire the animal for its bravery and willingness to fight. Eventually, though, Deus got the creature pinned and dispatched. He beamed proudly at the boy, padding towards him. "Good work! Don't worry, it get's easier with time. One day you'll be able to slay deer and bison to help feed the family and keep your pack strong."

"I don't think I have any energy left to eat him."

Aureus though for a moment. The boy's appetite would likely return and while Aureus could eat it himself he had a better idea. "Say, Deus, you know what? You should take this squirrel to your father! I bet he'll be really proud to and I'm sure he would appreciate the snack."
