it's not so bad - open; bone fight

[daniel]

Contrary to popular belief, Danny was, in fact, just a dog at heart. A canine. A tail wagging creature of basic instinct. He didn't like eating the fish brought back from the salty water and he liked to chew on bones. That was pretty cut and dry, and up until this point, no one had really been relatable in that regard. Sure, Keona had been a direwolf for a time, but she lived most of her life to his knowledge as a cat, a tiny one at that, and besides, she was gone. So it didn't matter.

If he was being honest, he was using the bone in this teeth as stress relief rather than recreational fun, the sound reverberating in his ears as he broke little holes into the surface. Y'know, half heartedly and thinking about his new responsibilities. He hadn't even noticed Khalua because of that, and certainly wasn't expecting anyone to try and take his bone away from him. Guess there was a new kid on the block that he needed to be careful of, huh? Had been caught off guard? Oh, absolutely. Did part of him really just want to leave the bone and run? Totally. But that would make him look bad. And besides, nothing wrong with a little fun...right? Right? A brief but low growl escaped the wolf instinctively, jumping to his paws pretty quickly and pulling back in his direction. Game on.
