As Ragnarok scrambled at the fence, Roth suddenly sat up. The wind had changed. A new smell was in the air... the smell of man. It took all of her willpower not to howl in excitement and alarm and instead, she turned to Ragnarok and butted him hard in the side. He turned, snarling, but stopped as soon as he himself caught the smell. Nimue crawled forward and bit through the thatch, and suddenly widened the gap with a particularly violent snarl as the chickens squawked. She immediately plunged forward and mercilessly thrust out a helpless chicken. Burying her teeth into its jaws, she put the chicken down in front of the cubs, who moved forward slowly, and then started nibbling the meat in front of them.
Roth was uneasy.The smell of man was stronger than ever.
