With Lusa in her jaws, held by the scruff of the neck, Night came bounding down the slope, ducking under low-hanging vines and weaving inbetween trees as if she'd been doing it all her life--which in reality she had. She launched herself off of a small boulder and landed in a slight skid in front of her den, feeling her pads throb. She'd take a look at them later. Right now, she set Lusa down and growled, "You can open your eyes now." Giving the pup a rough lick, she added, "You're not dead." The little black ball of fuzz looked up and squeaked, "Well, you could've warned me you were going to do that!" "Oh, please," the adult wolf snapped back, baring her teeth slightly. "When you make a kill, the scavengers that show up aren't going to say 'watch out, I'm going to try and take your meal!' So get used to it."
