With the coming of Spring came the opportunities for expanding her skills. Morticia wanted to work more on the traps that her mother had shown her how to make, to get as good as Medusa at setting up snares for prey. More than anything, the girl was just eager to start collecting more prey and working on adding some new bones to her collection. She had been very disappointed when Medusa used some of the bones for the snare that required them to be broken, but she had understood why after. A good snare needs good materials… so maybe she would just need to keep her trophies and bones for making snares separate. That way she could have both! Yes, Morticia thought to herself. That would work.

After spending a while digging out a spare den for her materials, Morticia had realized that hunger had begun to gnaw at her. She had been so busy digging that she hadn’t thought about lunch, but now she would need to break away and see what she could find. Maybe a rabbit? Or a turkey? She had liked the turkeys when she managed to get them. They were kind of dumb… and tasty. She grinned as she set off at a light lope, careful to make sure she didn’t cause too much noise and potentially scare away something to eat.

It was on this trip that she noticed the smaller form of red, and her eyes lit up. Ahh, one of her little siblings! She had seen them from afar with their mother, but Moriticia hadn’t not managed to have any one on one time with them yet. And… she blinked, nose twitching as she caught the scent of the grouse on the wind. Oh, was her brother trying to hunt? Excitement bubbled up in her chest as she crept quietly forward, a delighted whisper falling forth from her lips as she spoke to the pup. “Grouse do not fly far, and spend much of the time on the ground.” She turned to her little brother.

“Does little Red think he can grab hold of the Grouse if Morticia chases it? Then Morticia will help kill it, and then Red and Morticia can eat~” It would be some good experience for him if he wanted to hunt. The bird would try to take off the ground and glide away if she came after it, but if Redrum pounced on it then it wouldn’t be able to get away. It sounded like a foolproof plan in her mind to get them both something tasty to eat.
