Champion had stopped, rather in shock, at that pat on the head. For a moment she remained there with her head lowered as she?d dropped the boar. What in the world? Now her brow twisted up in question and her muzzle changed into a strange grin. She liked this guy.

She heard his words about deer and at first she was confused. Certainly any herd within earshot would?ve heard the squeals of the pig and been alerted to predators? They?d have to be long gone! But Champion was underestimating the blind wolf?s hearing. Apparently. With an exhaling sort of chuckle, Champion dragged the pig carcuss to the roots of a nearby tree, dug a bit of a pit, and covered it over with dirt and leaves. It wasn?t much but hopefully there?d be even more meat on the menu ? and if not then they?d be back soon enough to claim Champion?s kill. For her sake they hoped it wouldn?t take too long. The hunt had made her hungry. Oh so hungry.

Champion followed along behind Roman, waiting at the edge of the treeline when he signaled they were close. His words made her face twist up in confusion ? which of course went unseen. That monster of a buck? Him? By himself? This she had to see.

But sure enough , the blind wolf slunk around through the shades like a ghost ? making sounds even a mole would have trouble picking up. Champion shook her head in disbelief as the male ran out ? heading in a perfect bee line to the buck and taking it down front ways.

?You?re crazier than ME!? Champion shouted out as chaos broke loose. A take down like that ? put a wolf right in front of the deer?s pronged fore hooves. If the buck had been a bit stronger, or quick or more balanced by just a hair ? Roman could?ve had his guts ripped out for them all to see. (Champion had come close enough to such a fate enough times to know) But the blind wolf had some rare form of luck with him ? the deer went down clean and he was able to kill it before it could get it?s hooves back under it.

Champion had starting racing out into the clearing as soon as Roman had gone down ? just in case she was needed. But now she just threw back her head and laughed ? that calm and simple ?You hungry? had been too much to bear. A clear ringing sound she hadn?t let herself hear in a long time. ?Not bad, Roman! I think this one goes to you!?

And now for the meal. It was a nice change to have someone to share one with. Champion contented herself with nice thick hind leg ? growling and salivating over it like she was coming out of a seven year famine. It was a habit of her. In her birth pack her elders had always wanted her to eat in a more collected and lady-like fashion. Nuts to that. Champion ripped off a slice of meat and gulped it down without so much as a breath in between. ?Lovely.?

And when she?d eaten her fill, the she-wolf let herself relax in the clearing ? which was now devoid of all life save lupine. With a little circling and stretching she laid herself down in a sphinx like manner ? which was her custom, particularly after meals. And she cocked her head in the blind wolf?s direction. ?I must say, this has been fun, Roman. It was a pleasure meeting you. But tell me ? where do you plan on going from here?? Did he have some sort of direction? Or was he a child of the wander lust like her?
