 The male crept toward the unsuspecting rabbit carefully, he was upwind from it, and so far it seemed like it was gonna be an easy kill. His dark fur somehow blended with the grass around him despite the designs like wings on his sides. He grinned as he came within pouncing distance, and prepared himself to leap. The intensity of the moment made the Saigh oblivious to anything besides that possible meal in front of him. The smaller mammal was also intent on its meal of newly sprouted pink flowers that showed the arrival of spring.
Then he lept at it, for a couple moments he was in the air, and he could almost believe that if he tried, he could spread those fake wings on his sides, and soar in the clear blue sky all the way to the sun overhead, but this thought lasted only a second, before his attention snapped back to the bunny he was planning to eat.

 Nolla was so happy that spring was coming. The flowers were blooming and the sun was shinning bright. She ran through a huge field of flowers nearby just to smell their earthy smell. Suddenly Nolla stopped because while inhaling the flower scent she scented a male Saig close by.She decided to creep slowly towards the males scent. As she approached the male she saw that he was beautiful indeed. He was an earthy brown and had an interesting wing mark coming down his back onto his side. This male was in the middle of doing something with the rabbit that was smelling the flowers. Then all of a sudden he saw him leap towards the bunny.
"Hey male what are you doing to that rabbit!" she yelled out to him.

The male cursed under his breath as the rabbit dashed away at the female's voice, landing in the spot the rabbit had been, he decided not to bother giving chase, instead he turned to look at the blue Saigh, "I was going to kill and eat it. But you scared it away." he told her in a slightly angry tone, as he glared at her. "It's not like its unusual. What do you think we have sharp teeth and claws for?!" Earthwing normally was nicer to others, but this female just scared away his lunch, and now he had nothing to eat. Honestly, what does she expect me to do?! Eat grass like a stupid mouse?!

Nolla started to get tears to her eyes as the male saig talked to her harshly.
"I was only asking. I thought you was playing with it. I Like to play too."
After she said this she sat and had uncontrollable amount of tears come from her eyes. She did not like it when others did not like her.

Crap, now she was crying. He let out a sigh, his anger disappearing, and walked slowly over to her, and sat down. He didn't say any words of comfort, he really stunk at that kind of things, but his presence was calm now, not furious as before. And though he wasn't looking at her, it was as if he was trying to let her know that it's alright.
Though he couldn't help but wonder why this female would possibly think he was playing with his now escaped prey, normally you see a Saigh and a rabbit in that position and the first thing comes to mind is 'that rabbit's gonna be lunch'.

Nolla felt the male come and sit beside her and looked over at him. She sniffed and said to him, "I guess I should have known you were hunting, but sometimes I play with the rabbits. Its fun you should try it sometime."
She cocked her head to the side then asked,"What is your name?

"I don't play with my food," he responded to her comment on how playing with rabbits is fun. "Though maybe I'll try it, if you say it's fun." he continued not to look at her as he spoke, looking the opposite direction, though when asked his name he turned to look at her, there was a small laugh in his voice and a little twinkle of humor in his eyes as he responded, "It is polite to give your own name before asking other theirs, but I'll tell you mine anyway, it's Earthwing."

Well don't play with them as food. Play with them as friends. Not all rabbits are food silly!" She swated at him with her tail playfully. "I like your name. Earthwing is such a pretty name. My name is Nolla its nice to meet you earthwing. I am sorry about earlier. I would catch you another rabbit but I am not so good at hunting, at least that is what everyone else says. But i can try if you would like me too!"
Nolla looked over at him with soft eyes.

The male raised an eyebrow at the comment about playing with rabbits, then got up and moved a little bit away when she swatted him so he was out of reach. "Being friends with rabbits doesn't seem like a good idea, because then one would feel bad about eating a rabbit and starve to death from refusal to eat one." He answered in a calm tone, this girl's ideas were rather different then what he was use to, and they amused him. "Thank you, I like your name as well miss, Nolla is short and sweet. And no need for you to catch me a rabbit, just don't say anything next time I'm hunting."

"hmph that is the same thing everyone else says. But the solution to that problem is don't hunt the ones you are friends with. Plus you would not starve to death you would just have to live off of berries. You might lose some weight though. And I promise next time I wont say a word to you while hunting. I will just watch so that way maybe I could learn to hunt."
Nolla inched closer to earthwing to fill the inches that he had intentional left.

While that may be a good way to get around that, what if you accidentally eat your friend's mate, or sibling, or parent, or offspring? And being a vegetarian is not exactly pleasant sounding." he answered, trying to show her his logic about befriending prey. His ears perked when she mention learning to hunt,"You don't know hoe to hunt? I'll teach you, if you'd like."

Nolla was confused at this males reasoning but decided not to push it farther. Usually if she did then the other would get mad at her. She did not want her new friend Earthwing to become mad at her. Maybe she was as hair brained as every one said she was. "No I really don't know how to do it. I usually end up playing with it cause it is so cute. My parents would always get frustrated when teaching me to hunt and stop. Would you really try and help me?!"

"Yes, I'll help you. Seems the first thing we need to work on is kill not play. Sound good?" He responded, he could tell already, this was going to be a hard lesson, for the both of them. Perking his ears he listened for the sounds of prey around him, taking a deep whiff of the air at the same time. Hearing and smelling the various prey around them, he jerked his head to tell her to follow him. Padding in the direction of the scent of a mouse.

Nolla looked over at Earthwing as he signaled for her to move with him. She really wanted to ask why they were moving but decided she better keep quite. Last time she was not it had horrid consequences. So she quietly followed Earthwing as he moved toward a certain direction.

He contined to move quietly in that direction until the mouse came into sight, it was nibbling on a couple seeds. He turned to look at the female, before muttering into her ear, "Sneak up on it, pounce it, kill it. Don't play, don't make a sound. Understood?" Then with out giving her a chance to respond, he backed off a bit, watching to see what would happen.
