Come what may...

Kotori was getting to know the land that would be his in the near future if things went well.  He’d called out a claim to take over this land and would see if any were going to answer it or just let him label the place his.  There was plenty of prey about so there would be no concerns.  The tree’s offered pleasant shade and the stream teamed with fish.  He could see why abaven had enjoyed the place for a long span of time.  That was the past and he would create the future.  If someone came to challenge him Kotori would not hold back in his intent to keep this location.

Kotori had done plenty of hunting lately for larger game, more than he needed.  So far the only wolf he’d had to share food with most of the time was Tove.  There was no need to get a large meal but Kotori did wait by the water, watching the fish carefully.  When a good size one got near the shore Kotori jerked his head down swiftly, snapping up the fish and lifting up a wet muzzle with a flapping fish between his jaws.  

It had been a while since he ate fish.  They certainly weren’t his favorite food but it would be something different for a change.
