He was home. Back within The Golden Eye, the place that he truly most belonged. He was glad to be back within familiar territory, not having to worry about Pittians looming over him any longer – not that most of them had been truly hostile, besides Dante. He hadn't left the territory since then, and he had no intention of doing so anytime soon, knowing better then to wander now. He was never going to trespass on someone's territory again – he didn't want a repeat of that whole incident. Especially considering he had a still healing wound on his side that would probably leave a nasty scar. A constant reminder of his lapse in judgement.
Rather than wandering outside the boundaries of The Golden Eye's territory, Fraggle chose to wander inside of them. He had been resting for several days now, giving his body and mind plenty of time to heal from what had happened. Now, he found himself merely exploring, while also making sure to keep far from the ziplines – yet another incident he didn't want a repeat of. On his walk, though, he stumbled across something pretty interesting – a squirrel. Well, to most that wouldn't be all that interesting, but to Fraggle it was a real surprise. It was the first prey animal that he had come across that hadn't already bolted away from him, and it was so tantalizingly close. While hunting had never been an option when he was a rabbit, his new lion form meant it was very much viable, and that was definitely a positive. He wanted to show others that he could be useful, and while he certainly hesitated at the thought of hunting certain things – rabbits in particular – this squirrel seemed like the perfect target. The perfect first catch for a cub growing into himself.
With that in mind, Fraggle dropped down low against the warm stone ground, his hunting crouch sloppy but usable. He would have more time to practice it later. For now, his focus was solely on the squirrel in front of him, the tiny creature scratching at the ground on the hunt for any sustenance it could find. Its little adventure would be cut short, however, as Fragglerock launched himself forward, claws out and teeth bared. He managed to bowl the squirrel over, ears flattening at the frantic squeaking as he bit into it, jaws crunching down until the prey finally went limp. When that happened, Frag's eyes went wide, as if the boy was shocked he had actually managed to catch it. Indeed, for a moment he just stared at the limp squirrel in his jaws, eyes gleaming.
It wasn't long until Fraggle had turned and was running back towards camp, however, the prey still dangling down from his jaws. He was incredibly excited to show off his catch to the others, and show him that he could be just as much of a fighter as any of them. When he did reach the cave, he was practically beaming with pride, his tail held high behind him as he headed for the prey pile, placing the squirrel down on top of it. After a moment, he turned towards the others in the cave, his words cheerful, "I managed to hunt something for the first time!" For some, it wasn't all that big of an accomplishment, but Fraggle certainly did appreciate the chuckles and thoughtful nods from a few NPCs nearby. It was almost enough to entirely distract him from the aching in his side – perhaps it was a little too early for such intense movement.
