The war had been fought and won, yes... Let there be no misconception about that. With the way Her leeches budded anew and the sun shined with new viciousness (this– he was selfishly indulging in as he thought, sprawling himself within camp wherever he pleased, soaking up that sun-warmth in his fur, light rust to a willow that already ran blood-red.) Could you blame him when a snake resided within his walls?
Though the sun threatens, and some things even more so... The cold was not gone completely. It was not something you could simply shoulder. Not something you could toss aside like the touch of a twoleg or stray pelt of some sort. Her sink into sickness was gradual. No, he would not think that some of them would grow so plump so quickly. He's nearly jealous. The journeys back home had never quite stopped, he could spare a snap of something dry, crunching between his teeth. Pleasant, homely, but never quite satisfactory. It's been long, hasn't it, since he could streetch beneath the sun-bleached skys with his belly warm with prey, even his coat seeming thicker all because of it. He knew not how it felt to have ribs showing beneath your skin, but he hadn't been so comfortable for a long...long time. And this, all for what?
Wasn't she comfortable? Able to spend her days confined to her nest, doted on by a face like his? Brought her meals and spared her life. (For, tearing through her would only be half as pleasant without any chase). Pure rest, relaxation, for months. Released to a cold and cruel world, only to come back plumper by the day. Her smell made him sentimental. He's brought back to his kithood, warm scent drifting readily too him. He utters a sad sigh, relaxed as he may seem. It blusters even sadder as he catches sight of the very subject. Woeful and rueful, his spread limbs would reach to her. "Oh, aren't you enjoying yourself..." Halfway-whine, he comments. "You've gotten lazy. Lazy... able to stay fat and warm despite it all..." He musses a small harumph, air pushed through his nose.
