Missed!

[Nachty]

Bozek ran as fast as he could down the path. Ahead of him the squirrel was doing it's best to scramble up it's tree carrying more nuts than was thought possible. With a leap Boz reached out his jaws to catch the rodent, but instead of the soft feeling of fleshy Bozek only felt a crunch. He had missed the squirrel completely and was now hanging by his teeth from a low branch. Releasing his jaws Bozek fell loudly to the ground.

"Missed again!" he growled glaring angrily up the tree whilst spitting out bits of bark. "This hunting is a lot harder from stealing. I'll just have to try again." Picking himself up he shook the dirt from his white coat. "I'll show those rotten squirrels I'm a real threat." His stomach growled loudly and Bozek knew he needed to get a little something in there. Lifting his muzzle Bozek once again scented the air as he had done several times that day, and once again he caught the scent of squirrel. Crouching even lover than his already short form Bozek crept to where his strong nose lead him. He leaped yet again, but the squirrel had already moved leaving Boz to plummet back down empty pawed. He'd missed again.

Landing with a loud fwump Boz hit the ground hard knocking the wind out of him if only momentarily. Now quite aggravated He scrambled up as soon as he caught his breath and rushed over to the base of the tree. "You stupid animal. Get down here so I can eat you!" He growl practically trying to climb the tree himself. "C'mon you cowards!" No sooner had that come out of his mouth than an acorn came flying down toward him hitting him hard on the snout. Bozek could here the chattering of the squirrels above, and though he could not understand them he was sure they were laughing at him.

With a sigh Boz trudged over to another tree and settled down. "I'm no use as a hunter..." he sighed laying his head on a patch of moss. "That's all there is to it. I guess I'll have to go back to stealing again..." He didn't mind that h had to steal so much as the fact that he had to admit he couldn't do something. "Some sleep will do me good. Maybe tomorrow I'll try the port." With that he closed his eyes and tried to sleep.

((Mind if I join? ))

Bayne had separated with Delaja some ways back and right now was wandering around in search of something ,anything, to eat. Curse her sister, he'd told her to wait for him to get back but no, by the time he returned to their agreed place, she was gone.

"Silly sister," the young wolf muttered to himself.

A squirrel who had dared to venture across the male's path chattered a little at him before racing away, bushy tail flying. Snarling, Bayne bounded after it, his longer legs easily allowing his to catch up with the little piece of fuzz. The smaller mammal made to turn right only to shoot left instead, momentarily messing up its pursuer.

"Why you little..." he swore and dived right at the nutter's neck.

His fangs sank into something warm, soft, and alive; success! Dropping the dead squirrel onto the ground, Bayne licked his teeth clean and smiled at no one in particular. He was preparing to devour the little sucker in one gulp when his keen nose told him of another canine's presence nearby, a male. Curious as he was by nature, the young wolf picked up his prize and walked slowly over to where the stranger was lying, seemingly asleep. His stomach was making loud grumbling noises, a sure sign that whomever this was, he was hungry.

Bayne looked at him, considered for a few seconds, then made up his mind if a bit unwillingly. He was hungry too but he could last a couple more days, besides he'd had worse and this guy sounded a lot more famished. Rounding the still form so that he was sitting in front of the other's nose,she laid the squirrel near the the dog's mouth.

"Hey, wake up dummy," he said, his tone not exactly friendly. "If you're hungry you ought to catch something. It's better than starving isn't it?"

(I don't mind at all)

Bozek awoke with a start as an unfamiliar voice filled his ears. Always the fighter he jumped up a snarl on his face. He wasn't about to just let somebody insult him. To his dismay he found the voice belonged to that of a wolf quite larger than he.

He was scared but he dared no show it. Only by relaxing his snarl a bit did he show anything. Right back of the defensive he decided it was best to just lie.

"Well, I was going to hunt after I took a nap," he growled softly not missing a beat. "I could catch any little thing I wanted to. I'm just preoccupied at the moment." Oh that had been a big lie but his eyes showed no sign of wavering.

Just then a thought came into his head. Why'd this wolf even care if a dog like him was hungry. "Why do you care anyway?" he inquired broadcasting his thoughts.

Bayne snorted derisively as he listened to the dog talk. The first half of his defense was believable but the second half was very obviously a lie, unless of course he was 'preoccupied' with sleeping. Why even bothering to fib so outrageously?

"Cut the crap," the wolf laughed. "If you were preoccupied your stomach wouldn't be complaining so flipping loud."

It was true, the other's midriff was still emitting rather noisy growls, demanding to be filled. Anyone, even a deaf wolf, could have heard it at this rate!

"Now, why would I care about whether or not you starve?" he repeated.

Bayne rose to his feet and began pacing around a bit. One of his ears was quirked to the side so it was almost horizontal, something that he often did when he was thinking. In this case, he didn't have a suitable answer to the dog's question ether. Why did he bother? The dog meant nothing to him and if he died so what? Bayne was frowning by now.

"Tell the truth, I don't have that answer any more than you do so let's drop it."

And that was the end of that. The wolf's blue eyes glared at the smaller canine as though daring him to continue pressing the issue.
