"Marching out of time- to my own beat, now."
Manasa
The young coyote calmly tore into his meal of stolen hen- the self-plucked feathers scattered around him like evidence for a crime scene, to which he payed little notice. The white plumage scooted along the leafy ground, blown gently by the breeze until a few of them made it to the black, murky water not far off and began to drift away. Through the scent of the blood from his meal, Manasa could notice the faint scent of canines- a musky scent which had to be that of a fellow coyote. Instantly he became somewhat fearful of losing his meal, letting past experiences with a couple scavengers of his own species rule his judgment. With little more hesitation, he ripped more fresh bloody meat from the bones of the hen, eating rapidly until it was gone.
With his hideout being not far from the end of the swamp- the cattle ranch lying not far outside- Manasa could easily take notice to things going on. Now that he had finished his meal, leaving little more than a blood stain and a few bones, the male rose to his paws, licking his bloodied maw as nearby footsteps caught his surveillant ears. In the distance he could make out the faint tan-furred figure of an apparent coyote weaving through the trees and mud, but it was too far to be of concern. Suddenly, a loud splash near his hallow tree hideout made him spin around. Filled with curiosity, he clambered up onto the fallen log bridge that lie just above the murky waters and connected his small "island" to another piece of dry land.

"Heh, just learnin' how to swim, huh?" Manasa cackled as he stalked across the fallen log and flopped down onto his belly, casually letting his paw dangle from the edge. "Or are you just bad at hunting?" The smirking male added, tail swaying nonchalantly as he peered down at the soaked female on shore below
