get in our belly

A chicken, some sort of jungle fowl from the looks of it, had for some reason decided the Runestones were a good place to perch. Or at least it had realised that most predators couldn't reach it up there. Kaizen was one such predator. He squinted up at the top of the stones, the shining green feathers dangled off the edge, still well out of reach as the bird stayed firmly atop its tall perch. No intentions of coming down anytime soon. The bird couldn't fly like most, but with a few flaps of its wings it had managed to get up there, maybe using one of the shorter stones to hop from one to the other, gaining height till it reached its desired spot?

It didn't matter either way, as Kaizen was intent on getting it down. There was plenty of food in Tojo's stores, no one would have begrudged him if he helped himself- but that wasn't the point. He wanted to catch and kill something himself, to prove that he could and learn from the experience. Slowly work his way up to larger game, something that could prove an actual challenge and not be...tedious, as this jungle fowl seemed intent to be.

Leaning up onto his hind legs, he stood up as tall as he could, extending his front paws as he arched up, trying to see if he could reach the very end of the dangling feathers. He didn't even get remotely close, but that didn't stop the fowl from turning away, drawing its feathers out of sight as it clucked away, fairly confident it was safe. Just the arrogance of the bird annoyed him, he wanted to prove that it ought to take him seriously, that wolves were dangerous and not to be trifled with.
