Catch and not so release

Kichi had been taking a walk with Torch, a notion in Kichi’s mind of going to find something to kill.  He was more imagining animals like bears or other predators but he wasn’t overly picky.  When Manea called him Kichi headed to her, the water deer trotting happily along with him.  

Kichi scented the reindeer even as Manea made the offer and Kichi nodded, a small smile on his muzzle.  It wasn’t quite as fun as killing predators but reindeer were nothing to disregard in a hunt.  The animals were certainly able to hurt a foolish wolf.  “I assume you mean the reindeer?  Sounds like fun.”

Kichi nudged Torch, “go on, you don’t want to get involved with this.” The fanged deer barked at him as if arguing but then turned and trotted off a ways.  Kichi smirked in amusement then looked back to Manea.  Al loved her which meant Kichi would die protecting her if needed.  Most of the world could crash and burn but she fell in the small circle that had to live.  It was about time he spend more time with.  “What’s the plan?”
