After it All

26

You wake up later than expected, the sun is already high in the sky. You shield your eyes and adjust your gas-mask, sluggishly sitting up and raking your fingers through your (h/l) (h/c) locks. Taking a deep breath you get up and look over to your companion. Skoll is sitting up, panting as usual and every now and then scratches himself behind the ear. Getting up you sling your satchel around and let it rest on your shoulder, the cans making a 'Clink' sound. That caused Skoll to close his mouth and look up at you with those fiery orange orbs. This staring contest seemed to go on forever, though it was only 2 minutes, Skoll's eyes wide as if looking into your very soul. 

Your eyes begin to water and soon.. they close. You blink a few times and sigh in defeat. You look down at the mutt who is yet again panting and licking his lips. 

"Not these" you say holding your bag close to you. Looking out the window you notice the crows are still flocking over to the feast upon the dead. 

A few of those crows would make a fair meal...

You look back down at the mutt and as if he read your mind, bounded down the ramp and onto the dirt packed ground. You watch as he trots over to them, being careful not to show any signs of threat. 

The crows, completely oblivious to the dogs plan, continue to peck at the decomposing, burnt flesh of the dead. Just like that, when all guard was dropped..

SNAP

The dogs jaws crush the crow as his head violently shacks, tearing into the flesh of the large bird. he dropped it and jumped for another one that was in the mindset of taking off. Skoll came back with two rather large crows and set them down in front of you, as if it were an offering. You smile and pat his head, bending down and taking 2 tail feathers from the bird and giving the rest to the mutt. Skoll wagged his tail as he picked them up and began eating.

*skip to chapter 27 to wait and tie the feathers into Skolls fur*

*skip to chapter 28 to continue on*

((Plz do chapter 27 first XDD))
