(no subject)
[It's a peaceful day in the large courtyard. A hawk circles about low, an eye on a small group of snowshoe hares digging in the snow for food. What it doesn't realize however, is that it is also being watched closely, by something circling above it.
It's a precarious kind of practice, something that enables Lenalee-kin to work on her agility, stealth, and ability to engage in airborne battle if a situation like that were to ever happen. Certain of her position, she folds her wings and dives downward, talons extended in front of her.
The hawk doesn't even know what hits it. By the time it realizes it's in danger, it's too late. Lenalee's talons dig into its body as she snatches the bird, her wings fanning out to halt her fall and bring her airborne again. At the same time, she snaps the hawk's neck, forever ceasing its struggles. She lands on the ground and places the dead hawk in a basket, pleased with herself that her kill had been successful. Some days, like today, she gets lucky. Other days, not so much. But she is definitely improving. That kill made, she stands still for a moment and scans the area for other prey. One hawk isn't going feed all of them.]
