Blue had heard Arwen's call for them, but it took them a second to get up, as they were previously terribly distracted by some other bird-like lessers. they had been flying, and Blue wanted to know if they could do that too. they could not. yet.
they walked over over with a smile, crouching down the meet Arwen where they had dropped her off.
"yess?" they asked with a happy chirp, curiously eyeing the rabbit corpse being dragged behind her.
@Arwen
Blue made a joyful warbling noise at Arwen's gift, picking it up in their claws to inspect it, chuckling.
"yes. very fun." they agreed, carnivorous glee in their tone.
they looked at the rabbit, eyes focused.
a low rumble in their throat was the only warning Arwen would get, before, with a snap on their jaws, half the rabbits body was torn away, save for the bone. a flash of their white, sharp teeth before they sunk into the rabbit, disappearing. little spurts of blood splashed to the harpy's legs and the grass below, dripping down their chin. not a very clean eater, it seems.
a delighted hum rumbled from the harpy's chest as they chewed and swallowed with a loud gulp.
"magnificent. thank you." they hissed with a bloodied grin.
@Arwen
the harpy quirked a curious brow at Arwen's request, but nodded.
for a few slow minutes, Blue would simply enjoy their meal.
blood would continue to drip from their mouth, from their hands and the bloodied corpse of the rabbit. ther wasnt much left of it after the first bite, but Blue had truly been starving. they were too distracted in their immediate days of hatching drowning and finding Arwen food to even bother learning how to hunt.
they savored their meal. their low growls of hunger remained amongst the gross, wet sounds of flesh tearing in their teeth.
the harpy, as they finished their mid-day snack, stopped with a distressed twitter at the sudden sound of bones cracking. looking down, they had gotten so caught up that their vicelike grip had snapped the rabbits bloody spine in half. they were trying to be careful, honest!
they held the upper half curiously. they set it and the lower half down in the ground. with their palms on the ground around it, they tried something.
they half expected something to happen, but what magic they could have maybe conjured seemed to fail them. they tilted their head. maybe they'd have to find another way to get rid of all this new energy.
they turned their head back to arwen. they were still soaked in blood. their chin and chest feathers were so slicked with it they shone in the light of eridanus, the reflection almost giving their feathers a purple hue.
"was that... alright?" they asked, tilting their head. they could've seemed innocent, in that moment.
