All I Wanted

His smile only brightened at her obvious excitement, his tail swaying in a steady arc behind him. His pace was steady but not overly enthusiastic, making sure Rye was able to keep up without getting winding so soon in their little adventure. That wouldn't do either of them any good if they had to head back home so early. He continued to sniff around the edge of the bushes, watching out of the corner of his eye as she found an old piece of fruit and bit into it temporarily before spitting it out. For a moment he felt his heart lurch in his chest, worried that maybe what she'd grabbed was poisonous... but it wasn't, just an old rotted bit of fruit, and he had to remind himself that he wouldn't always be there to protect her. She'd have to learn what was and wasn't safe, just like the rest of her siblings, and Corvus didn't want to be stiflingly overprotective.
"Make sure to give everything a good, long sniff before you eat it. I know that fruit probably smelled a lot better than it tasted though," he explained, conversationally rather than in a talking-down-to-her kind of way. That was how his parents had raised him, more like an equal to them rather that someone who would always be beneath them, and he took their parenting as an example of exactly how he wanted to be.
"Maybe... something like this. Here," he nosed to a patch of droppings he'd found, clearly belonging to some kind of rabbit. The scent lingered around that area, and he made to follow it around the edge of the bushes, searching for where it might lead. "I think there might be some rabbits close. We'll have to be quiet when we find where the smell leads, though!"
