She stood there trying to think of how to get one of the leaves down.... She was short and her size was a hindrance in the task of getting things from high up. Though her brain was good at working things out for herself. It had been almost a year since she had to start doing every ounce of thinking for herself. Before Archnemes she could of asked her siblings or even her friends to help her think of things, but now she had to do it all on her own. So lost in thoughts and planning how to get down a leaf or two she hadn't heard Ultyr move, causing her to jump as his voice came from behind her. “Which ones.” His growl had her shrinking slightly and looking down.
Though she knew better than to not try to answer. She glanced up at the leaves before taking a paw and pointing to a green longer one closer to the base of the leaves. She shouldn't need more than the one. And he gathered it, except he didn't throw it at her or drop it like she figured he would of. Instead he held it over her head, and she cursed herself. She'd pissed him off, and now he had a leaf with sharper edges and was likely to beat her with it. She shrunk and curled her tail about to almost roll over when he spoke again. “You will eat another mouthful.” Her ears pinned at the words. But she was full enough wasn't she? Wasn't food wasted on her if she was allowed to eat more?
“I am not my father. I am a benevolent god and I said eat your fill.” The second command had her moving low to the ground and almost running to the carcass to do as he told her. The leaf all but forgotten as she did so. She quickly took another bite, swallowing it fast in her fear and then a second. The meat was still warm but stringy and gamey and definitely not her favorite. But still she did as he said, swallowing down enough that her stomach started to become visible in her sunken form. This time before she moved though she looked towards him silently asking for permission to be done, but not meeting his gaze. She felt like she might get sick if she ate anymore but if he ordered her to eat more she would.

Ultyr as her current master may enter any of her threads as he sees fit, and is likely lurking somewhere near her regardless of his prescience in her threads.
