Although he was asleep, Talon wasn't startled when Jax woke him. He found himself drooling at the rabbits, grabbing one of them and starting to pluck off the soft fur. Between plucking, he spoke to his mate.
"Thank you -- this should be enough to keep me for a day or two." Talon was used to running on empty in the wild, so this was something of a feast for him. He started with slow bites, but soon the urge to eat overcame him, and he finished the rest of it quickly, cracking open the bones to get at the marrow, before taking the remains and kicking them into the snow for the scavengers.
When he finished, Talon settled down next to his mate, rolling onto his side to stay off of his belly. He could feel the pups moving and tossing about, obviously still not settled from their mother's moving around. At this point, their movements could be seen even through his fur. There was no doubt that they were ready to be born soon.
