At the ivory male’s nod, the Silver Male slunk forward carefully and slowly, his underbelly mere inches from the snowy ground and his tail and head low so the creatures wouldn’t see the movement. It was times like these that he was grateful for his silvery white coat; it helped him blend in nicely with the snow and have a harder time being seen.
But as he was almost close enough to pounce, the creature froze and stood up straight, nose quivering and looking at him – no, past him. Waiting until the creature went back to what it was doing, Ace slowly turned his head to meet the ivory male’s eyes whom was dragging a carcass to what he guessed was the pack den.
Turning back to the rabbit, he readied himself and in just a few seconds had pushed off and was sailing into the air, before his front paws landed heavily on the creature and he heard a crack as bones broke beneath his weight. Gently picking the rabbit up with his jaws – it was slightly skinny, but was enough for a quick meal, Ace padded back towards Adsila and the pale woman, hoping that she’d be pleased, or at least happy he’d caught something for her and her pack.
Setting the rabbit down near the woman, he slowly back away, keeping himself lowered accordingly. “For you, miss,” he said, keeping sure to not look her directly in the eyes as he stood next to Adsila, waiting for the pale woman’s verdict.
