Steeltalon nodded in farewell and tore into the Homalo carcass, being sure to leave most of it for Silver. The little hatchling was going to need all of her strength to survive in Steeltalon's territory, especially with Darkclaw hanging around. "Silver," she growled softly, giving the hatchling's flank a nudge with her snout. "I must show you where you will be sleeping and how to get in and out." she crouched down and allowed Silver to climb onto her back before slipping into the cave, onto the first ledge.
"Wow!" Silver chirped. "I would never have guessed that hole would lead to a place like this!" She scrambled off of Steeltalon and started running around.
"This will be your home until you are able to hunt for yourself," Steeltalon growled, giving a short, barking laugh at Silver's eagerness. "If anyone but me enters this cave, hide somewhere safe and don't come out until I return." Steeltalon watched Silver run around for a while before deciding to bring the kill inside. She left it for Silver and slipped outside the caves, standing guard and scenting for Darkclaw.
