Don't Eat That!

Luminous blue eyes would catch the light from the lake, watching as the sunlight was cut into tiny fragments. Adelaide squinted at the sight, but smiled in admiration all the same. This place was relatively unfamiliar, at least in comparison to the rest of the Ebony lands. So she made it her goal to explore the lake today. As her snowy paws brought her smoothly around its shore, she would see a bit of movement behind her. One of the heirs was out running today, trying to keep up with its fox companion. This was the little fox kit that Adelaide had brought to health. Her work had certainly paid off. The woman turned around to watch them with a proud smile, settling on her haunches as they ran closer. Then Svetlana seemed to feel some fatigue, for she plopped to the ground and panted heavily. Good old exercise. The white maiden would chuckle quietly at the sight, only letting her laughter die away when she saw what the little fox was up to. Grey eyes would glimmer hungrily as it stalked another creature. Surely the victim was small and helpless. How else would this equally tiny creature find the courage to approach it this way? Adelaide felt her jaw drop in shock as Korrin leapt forward and pinned a beautiful blue bird by its wings. Her muscles twitched with worry, aching to go rescue the poor animal. But she would hesitate only a beat, wondering if the fox kit meant it as a game. Probably not. Finally, the sounds of distress from the bird caused Adelaide to take action. She bounded forward, clearing the distance in two large strides. Her nose would dip down to nudge the child away, still being gentle as not to bring pain to either creature. Hopefully small claws had not sunken into the bird. It would break the woman's heart to see it become flightless. "Come now, Korrin, this poor fellow isn't a snack..." her eyes locked with the bird for a moment, and she thought she saw a grateful light in those black beads. "You can't eat him. He's nearly as big as you are!" Her attempt to bring humor into the scene may have failed, but she didn't want to damage her pride. Korrin was probably very satisfied with herself, as she should be. It was a good catch. Just not one that was meant to be eaten. Walk. "Talk." Think. |
