If at first you don't succeed....try try again

A thump rang throughout the forest as two front gray paws landed on nothing besides the top of a log. A crack followed up after as the log caved in. A grunt escaped the male's maw as he slowly took out his paws one by one. Thane sighed as he looked around for something else to try to catch. The mouse he had been chasing had gotten alway. But it was a miracle he had Ben caught up to it with his bum leg. Look forward to the day it fully healed did he do.

"Oh come on Master Thane! Tally ho! Goatee another one!" said a golden eagle, the Bruce's companion.

Only a grumble from the man answered the eagle's words. Aqua blue eyes looked around as the male lowered himself into a crouch. He gritted his teeth as pain shot up his hind left leg. This was stupid; if Erani saw him now she would have his ass in the healer's den faster than he could give a sorry exscuse. But Thane felt as if he had spent long enough laying around and snoozing off the pain. But no! He had to support himself again! He couldn't have his companion catching food fr him anymore. And Thane needed to strengthen his leg so he could eventually go out and look for his mate. Worry still embedded itself in his mind. She had been gone for almost an entire season. And then he also had to look after their three children as well. But they were growing, soon to he yearlings come Fall. White lines ears turned to the right as a small rustle was heard in the leaves. Slowly walking over to the place he had heard it the man then stood still. His aqua blue gaze never left the spot. Slowly and carefully he took his paw and hit it against a tree root. And soon enough a hare came bursting out of the bushes on the other side. Leaping over the bush Thane aimed for his paws to land in front of the hare. And as he did so the prey ran under him and he had it! Looking down he watched as the creature squirmed beneath his hold. With a claw unsheathed he pressed it into the neck and watched the movement leave the hare.

"Bravo Master Thane! See! I knew you could do it! How's the leg feeling?"

"And I hope you never doubted me Cyril." the brute said with a chuckle.

"It's holding up alright. Just throbbing a bit here and there.but the pain is worth the kill." he said.

The eagle then nodded before spreading his wings and flying off the tree branch.

"Enjoy that while I go get my own snack."

With a nod in reply the male took the hate by the scruff and carried it to the border. Thane knew he couldn't leave the parklands for now just yet. But when he was better he wanted to take his children with him on a little day out. Maybe explore a bit all together! Curiosity piqued the man's mind. He wondered if either of his children had even been out of the border's yet. They were a sneaky bunch though and he assumed at least one of them had. Could it be Ravine? Ryker? Resnera? With a shrug Thane bent down and took a bite out of the hare. He closed his eyes for a moment as he savored the coppery taste of the warm blood. He hasn't eaten a hare like this ages! Maybe prey did taste better when you're then or catching it
