Walk | Talk | Think Oops. Maybe she had overdone it a little bit. He was crying now, quietly to himself, and just a little she felt guilty. It had not been her intention to make him cry, only to drive home the point he had been refusing to accept up until now. But maybe the tears meant it had finally gotten through to him, maybe it meant he had finally heard her. She certainly hoped so. She did not want to have upset him over nothing. He made no answer to her stern, direct words but instead became distracted with the noisiness of birds nearby. Bera's own ear stubs twitched as if trying to pinpoint the noise, her green gaze turning skyward as she too looked their way for a brief moment, only to have the dark colored boy get up and step away from her. She opened her mouth, about ready to ask him where he was going, curious and afraid she might have scared him by being too direct, but upon seeing how he reacted to the birds she understood then. He meant to catch one. Staying quiet, Bearcub waited while he stalked forward, leaped, and pinned one of the squawking birds beneath his paws, a successful hunt conducted right before her eyes. For someone who seemed so convinced that he had nothing to offer, that he was worthless in the eyes of the world, he had a pretty good knack for hunting. Even more surprising was the fact that he picked the bird up and brought it to her, dropping it at her paws without meeting her eye and offering it to her since she had seemed a little worn out. Bera blinked, stunned, and answered a second after she had regained her composure with a simple, "Oh...Thank you." Maybe her news had done him some good after all. But as she looked down at it, she felt reluctant to take a bite. She had a home, a pack, others who could help her keep herself fed. This boy had no one but himself, and he was trying to give his hard earned food away. "You should eat it, not me," she tried to convince him gently, hoing he would not be offended by her refusal to eat it, "I'm grateful you'd give it to me, but I think you could get more use out of it." |
