 This was it. This. Was. It. He was close, so close, so close he could taste it on his lips, the sweet blood of that fat boar. The thing was quite clearly skittish. He knew it smelled him, as he did always tend to stink of old blood. (Though he would argue it was not a stink at all, but a wonderful smell.) Quietly, he crept through the brush. Carefully, carefully... One step at a time, one of his snakes clearing away any debris beneath his feet that might give away his presence. The time was almost right to strike. He couldn't wait to hear it squeal.

 Frustration rolled off Found like spring rainfall, as she crouched amid a stand of dead ferns. She had been hunting this boar for days, hoping that it would lead to more, and it had taken her out of her tribe's territory. She wasn't one that liked being told what to do, and more than once had she crossed over their borders without permission, but this was her longest trip yet. That motherfather-cursed boar was beginning to irritate her. It hadn't gone near ANY other boar. She was certainly considering taking it down anyways out of absolute spite. She gently, silently rolled her shoulders, pushing the tension away, and decided. It was time to kill it. Obviously it had no friends and deserved to die. She backed out of the ferns and took a circuitous route, Ice Frenzy at her heels. The damn boar was more skittish and as she got downwind she smelled old blood. A corpse nearby? No wonder the thing was nervous. Oh well. Wouldn't matter much longer. She got into position, and her flox trotted off to get ready to scare the boar right at her.

Almost. Almost... The time would be right any second now. Just a few more steps... Carnage sprung. In an instant he was upon it. His caiman was at its feet, chomping away, and his unbroken horn gored what of its neck he could get at. The kill was his. The wait was worth it.

A great yowling was taken up in the bushes and a streak of something blue and fierce came out to attack the boar as well. Another impact hit the boar as Found, who had pounced a breath after Carnage, took it by its hind and attempted to hamstring it. "Mine!" she cried, glowing gold eyes furious.

Carnage snarled and bucked his horns at the intruder. His enraged thrashing helped, however, in that it quickly ended the poor boar's suffering. When it was finally still on the ground, he stepped over it and glared at Found. "Excuse you?"

She shoved her face up in his, and though she was shorter than he, she had a sturdy hunter's build. "Excuse you! I've been stalking this boar for days! It's mine!"

He looked down at her with a notable lack of concern in his eyes now that he'd calmed down some and the adrenaline rush was fading. "And yet, I killed it. And you did not. You failed. not my problem."

She snorted, a glob of snot smacking his on the cheek, and she muscled into his personal space. "I had it, but you got in the way!"

"If by had it, you mean you were too late and ******** it all up." He seemed unbothered by both the snot and the intrusion on his personal space. If she wanted to smell like old blood too, he didn't much care. "The first blow was mine. The killing blow was mine. You can leave now, dear."

"Oh, I'll be leaving!" She snagged the boar in her teeth by its bristly back and started to drag it off, surprisingly strong for her size. It was a bit of a struggle, but she was determined.

"Yes, you will be, but without that," he grunted in reply as he threw his whole weight onto the boar, sitting on it like a contented ramcat in the sun. Which was exactly what his was at the moment, as it snoozed lazily on a rock placed just perfectly in a large sunbeam.

She was jerked back by the tug and she let out an indignant noise. Still, she refused to let go and she said between her teeth, "'Renzy! 'Ic 'em!" The little flox, ferocious little monsters by nature, did not hesitate to do exactly as ordered. It pounced on Carnage, making cute, crazy noises and slashing with sharp claws and tiny teeth. It could do damage if it wished.

Damn, he thought. These bites hurt like hell.Yet, he was prideful to a fault. Carnage thrashed his head about, but stubbornly did not move otherwise. He grunted a throaty command that sent his two snakes coiling up his legs and around the limbs of the little bitey rox, hissing and biting at it as they went.

Ice Frenzy hissed and flailed at them, falling off Carnage and rolling into the bushes, where it fought like a crazy thing. Found tugged at the boar. "'O away!"

Carnage snarled and snapped his teeth at found, missing her maw by barely an inch. If asked, he'd insist it was on purpose. "Get lost," he growled. "Or I'll do to you what I did to the boar."
