Sleeping In

Nako stared down at the twitching salmon, it's fight for the water it was being denied admirable but nevertheless futile. Anais had fulfilled her role in catching the fish but as for the young male he had no luck in pursuing the salmon in what was their element. It's gaping mouth eventually stopped and Nako eyed it with a hunger akin to dining upon the sweetest of meats of a regular kill. Moose. Deer. Mountian goat if the prey was on flat enough ground. The liver, heart, a thick hunch. But fish. Fish was a delicacy that him and his brothers rarely, if ever, had. Only their father had received some from mother a few times when the nearby waters provided.

Oh! And his sweet sister, nosing the fish in a gesture for him to take it. Nako beamed and wagged his tail, taking a step forward to claim the gift. Her antsy paw steps wouldn't deny his showing of affection, Nako stepping over the fish and giving a quick kiss on the side of her check. Blushing furiously, the young male quickly turned and picked up the salmon before retreating a few paces away. Eager jaws ripped up most of the scaled hide to dig into the pink flesh underneath. Satisfied that the catch was almost evenly eaten, and that his sister wouldn't go unchained or unrewarded, Nako gab Ed up the remnants.?Strings of rubbery flesh hung like bloody streamers as he placed it at Anais's paws. "Thanks An-ye." It had been forever since he'd used his pup nickname for his sister, but he loved her all the more from using it.
