Something I'm used to

((OOC::May i join in?))

Midnight had been out hunting, winters approach had chilled the air and sent many of the smaller animals into hiding even the deer had started to seek shelter in the forests at night, still she had managed to find some lemmings which had filled her belly. The moon was bright tonight reflecting of the glittering snow it cast dark shadows through which midnight stalked her pitch black coat blending in and hiding her from view as she moved closer to the den.

She saw the adult first, her eye drawn by his movement it still took her a moment to pick him out from the shadows that surrounded him, she recognised him from the den though she did not know his name, he was new and even more recent addition then she and she paused for a moment in the shadows just watching the brute. The noise came from behind him just a soft thump but it drew her attention ans as she searched for its source she saw a small grey head poke around the corner of a tree. She had seen this pup before to and she stifled a laugh, clearly she wasn't the only one out hunting tonight, now how should she play this.

?hail,? she called her voice breaking suddenly through the quiet night, ?its a nice evening is it not,? slowly she picked her way down the slope on which she stood her tail held out for balance her golden eyes fixed on the male ignoring the pup for now, ?if you seek food there is a colony of lemmings on the far side of the hill, though I may have frightened them slightly,? she offered a smile as her paws reached the level ground at the base of the hill her golden eyes twinkling as she looked at the boy her ears listening intently for the pups movement, standing so she would block the boy from view.
