Another Full Moon

[loyaltyinmotion.livejournal.com]

It's getting to be that time; the moon is getting harder to ignore.
Therefore, Jason is standing in the clearing clutching a to-go cup of coffee. They don't break as easily when you drop them mid-shift. He looks to be waiting for stragglers before starting his hunt.

Jason snaps half heartedly at Yrael's heels.

"I have a rule. Eat. So let us find food Now."

[mogget_cat]

*Jason might get kicked lightly in the chin for that.*

Then use your oversized canine nose to find us some.

Jason growls and slows, testing the air.

"Bastard."

He catches the scent of deer. "Deer. This way."

[mogget_cat]

As you say.

*Yrael swerves to follow the scent and Jason.*

Hope for once you know what you are talking about.

He slows after a bit, stalking carefully through the undergrowth.

"Right there, smart-ass. A decent buck. Think we can take him?"

Of course...!

[mogget_cat]

*If Yrael knew the word, he'd say "Duh!". But he doesn't know the word, so he doesn't use it. It comes across in it tone, though.*

Oh, I believe so.

*He pads silently to come level with Jason.*

You to the right, myself to the left?

The wolf turns to look at him with an assent and heads off to the right.

Deer doesn't stand a chance.

[mogget_cat]

*Yrael heads off, veering slightly to the left.*

*The deer really doesn't stand a chance.*

*It smells the wolf too late.*

*It perks its ears too late.*

*It turns to flee too late.*

Only the strong survive. This one didn't make the cut.

It doesn't take long at all to bring it down. Jason buries his muzzle into the soft belly.

"Nicely done."

[mogget_cat]

*Yrael goes for the back, where the saddle meets the haunch. Mmm, fresh steak.*

Indeed. Quick and efficient.

*Yummy, still hot.*

[loyaltyinmotion.livejournal.com]

Jason sits back trying to fling long stringy bits back into his mouth.
Very yummy.

"Wish Kibeth could've come out with us."

[mogget_cat]

*Yrael somehow manages to eat neatly and get blood across his face and neck and shoulders anyway.*

So do I. But, she has ever been an unruly one. She and I used to get in so much trouble with the others... before.

*He falls back into silence, covering it with eating.*

[loyaltyinmotion.livejournal.com]

Jason stops and looks up, but doesn't try and fill the silence. Instead he pads over and starts cleaning at the stray blood.

[mogget_cat]

*Yrael doesn't really know what to make of it.*

*So long alone. No pack, no family, no friends. It is alien to him, still.*

*After a little while, he shifts away.*

Come on. The haunch and the saddle are the best parts. It would be a waste to let them get cold.

[loyaltyinmotion.livejournal.com]

He cocks his head.

"Not the marrow? The marrow is the best."

Oh glorious marrow...

[mogget_cat]

I have never been a fan of the marrow, really. I am talking steak.

*He's trying to get away from the silence of before, speaking lightly.* Perhaps I shall just leave you the bones, then?

[loyaltyinmotion.livejournal.com]

Jason grins, tongue lolling.

"I get a fair share of those steaks. Put them in the snow for later."

He pulls at a bone, then happily drags it aside and begins trying to crack it.

[mogget_cat]

*Yrael rolls his eyes and smiles.*

Whatever, Jason.

*Then he goes back to eating.*
