it's a bird, it's a plane-- no it's def a bird

Caedes regarded her with an aloof, appraising gaze as she offered him the rabbit in the trap as thanks for his assistance. He took in the rivulet of blood trickling down her brow, the fatigue evident in the tension of her muscles – the lingering unease in her demeanor. But he didn’t think much of it all.

With a subtle nod of acknowledgment, Caedes accepted her gesture of gratitude, his expression remaining impassive all the while. He was no stranger to the harsh realities of survival, and understood the importance of mutual aid at times. Not all his kin were of a like mind, but he digressed. "The rabbit will suffice," He replied evenly, his voice a low rumble. "Consider it a debt repaid." With that, Caedes turned to inspect the rabbit in the trap, his movements exact as he approached it. He wasted no time in removing it from the trap and dispatching it, his actions swift and precise as he prepared to leave.
