AN AUTUMN MOUNTAIN ☆ open, fox "attack"

[Luciferr]

STORMSPINE - male - spinosaurus - palmclan - warrior

He’d turned to watch the one scamper off when rhinestone’s warning reached him in time for his snout to swerve away from the claws aiming for his eyes and instead those deadly conical teeth were what the Fox got a face full of instead as they gripped the small mammal and a wail across from the sly red furred creature at the sudden pain.

Stormspine was not cruel however - and his tastes resided more with aquatic creatures though if when food was scarce he’d have reconsidered, but he tossed away the wounded sly one, watching it sail away over the nest border to land painfully and quickly limp away.

It had been lucky Stormspine hadn’t simply killed it this time - but deterrents were good enough and for such a large predator, he didn’t feel the need to be ruthlessly cruel unless they didn’t learn their lesson and came back again anyway.

Turning, the spined dinosaur shifted to look inwards at the nesting den ”is everyone alright?” he asked softly at the nursing mothers and their hatchlings - to which a chorus of shaky yes’ answered the two tonne predator.
