A frozen Waste

Thane watched as Ookami started chase after the hare. The entire time he stood waiting for her to either make the kill or draw it closer to him. His aqua blue orbs glinted as he watched with interest. Ookami had hurt the hare but it had freed itself and had escaped the jaws of death. His belovedchased it closer to him and he waited wit his tail swaying back and forth across the ice. As soon as the rabbit came into his personal space he instinctively slammed a paw down in front of the creature before he came up from behind and pinned it with his other. Right when he went to give the killing bite he stared at the creature which was staring back up at him with its tiny eyes full of fear. Thane's grip loosened as he was distracted by the creature. The hare slipped out and started away until something swooped down and picked it up into the air.

The rabbit then dropped down from the sky in front of his paws as the bird who had caught it landed on his shoulder.

"Cyril." he said with relief.

"Yes master Thane, it is I."

Thane looked into his companion's golden eyes as the bird looked back into his with warmth and somewhat of a smile.

"You're ok."

"Of course I am, hmph just a few burned feathers here and there but they'll grow back. And you have to stop being a softy with your prey master; like your mother Mistress Livesse told you, don't play with your prey." he said with a chuckle.

"Don't get your feathers in a twist and don't bring my mother into this." he said with a smile while holding back a laugh.

Cyril turned his head and looked over to Ookami.

"Ah, Mistress Ookami, how do you fare these days?"

Thane smiled at Ookami and as he did so he pushed the hare towards her; he would not eat until she was taken care or first.
