The hunt was thrilling.
Usually.
This time, the thrill of the hunt was periodically interrupted by trolls. It wasn’t as if she minded––she loved having friends––but at times like this, when she hadn’t had a proper meal consisting of about twenty pounds of raw, bloody meat, she really would have preferred some peace and quiet. At least, that was she thought about the first conversation, in which Fleilt had sent three messages, each with a loud ping coming from her pocket that threw her off at first.
Talking to her beloved moirail, of course, sweetened the deal, even if literally no one ever wanted to share her food with her except for her lusus.That was okay. It was good to be generous to the trolls she liked and threaten to kill everyone else.
She caught a break after withdrawing her nose from the hoofprints in the dirt, and following them.
The hoofbeast was injured. This wouldn’t take long. Irevir licked her lips and got moving.
---
Raw hoofbeast was one of her favorites. It was also one of Wolf-Mom’s favorites. Naturally, then, sitting beside the carcass snuggled against her lusus’ thick, fluffy coat was simply fantastic. Another ping startled both Irevir and her custodian, who let out a questioning whimper as she withdrew the flip phone from her pocket. Oh! She’d just remembered a previous conversation.
In a series of whines and growls, she attempted to convey the fact that there was a kind of rock called howlite and that soon she’d be getting a gift of the stuff.
Being a gigantic canid, the only word Wolf-Mom picked out was howl. Tail wagging, she stood up and let loose a very loud howl of her own.
Irevir hoped that Fleilt could hear this, and that it annoyed the shit out of him.
Okay. Now to check the message.

Irevir announced that she was finished with dinner by letting out an enormous belch, at which the wolf beside her gave a shrug. She’d be going home alone tonight while the old wolf sated her much more intense appetite. Licking her lips, she stood up, stretched, gave Wolf-Mom a scratch behind the ears, and absconded.
