[Gift] Feast

If Scylla didn't know for a fact that Kano loved her, she'd think he was torturing her. She was so hungry. For days now, they'd been gathering and hunting, but amidst it all, she'd barely been allowed anything of, and that wasn't the worst part, the worst, was that it was been taken away from them. Wagons came and took it away... though only one stupid idiot had the gall to try and take the meat she was snacking on, and Kano had gone with them as well. She snapped her jaws tight as she slipped into the water, sharp gaze as she looked for any fish that may of 'forgotten' the hunting of the days previous. Nothing... the waters were clear and empty, and the only fish around was her own. Surfacing, she roared.... even knowing that such a sound would scare any prey left in the vicinity... it made her feel better, no less hungry, but better...

A few days later and the situation hadn't changed, Scylla still hungered for a decent meal, she'd managed, with no help from her rider who'd been strangely absent, to catch sufficient food to at least not starve but it did nothing for the gaping maw inside; and now, he wanted her to come to the beach, trekking through the rocky terrain, expanding more energy that she didn't have.

She faltered suddenly, a deep intake breath as the smell of cooked meat and fish assailed her, the scent almost dizzying as she charged forward, skidding to halt on the sands, barely able to comprehend what she saw. Several tables were spread across the sands, and on them, various meats and fish, fruit and vegetables between them, a feast, not just for her senses, but in truth. And she wasn't the only dragon here, others were already digging in, and she fought the urge to chase them off.... especially when she caught sight of Kano. She needed no extra urging, surging forward and digging into the feast, her powerful jaws snapping up the offerings in front of her. She didn't know it it was worth the hunger of the last few days, but she couldn't complain.

Hours later and while the tables were still piled high with food as other pairs came to enjoy the feast; Scylla dozed, full, completely full for the first time in ages, oh it wouldn't last long, before she was hungry again, but for now, with the scent of the feast still lingering, she slept next to her rider, content.
