The silver dagger was pleased to see that at least Karpos knew how to behave, and that he wasn't going to try and stick up for Evann. This was the way of the wolf pack- weaker members were kept in their place until they found the strength and need to stand up for themselves. Evann, though bigger than Sagacity, was weak and had not learned how to fight and defend herself. She stayed right where she was, flattened against the ground and in doing so, helped some of Sage's ire fade away.

In fact, when she protested first, she caused Sage's brow to raise and a moment later, she laughed. She looked down at Evann, the one who claimed to be strong, and grinned. "Are you now? Well- either you're delusional or you really would make a good jester." She said. She knew she was being cruel- but she had no patience for wolves who did not know their limits. Her eyes scanned over Evann's body- though her winter pelt was thick, she could make out the harsh lines and edges of bones. Her body had begun consuming itself, muscle, fat and all. Soon she'd be but gristle and bone, if the hunting situation did not improve.

She fought to redeem herself, but it was clear in Sagacity's scornful gaze that she wasn't impressed. "That got you accepted into the pack. Now you mean to tell me you've done absolutely nothing since then?" Sagacity, at least, had gone on scouting missions, taking leave with permission of the alpha pair. She tilted her head to the side. "When nature allows it, you'll starve." She said, a mild comment on what Evann believed to be some sort of excuse for not being able to hunt. If she starved, she wouldn't be much to eat- but she'd at least be contributing to the health of the pack.

One ear flicked toward Karpos when he spoke and he was hardly acknowledged for a moment before she nodded. She herself could smell something- though it wasn't rabbits. Perhaps he was confusing the scent, or maybe he'd cottoned on to a different scent trail. Either way, Sagacity could smell something and was going to investigate it herself. Evann didn't argue with her, and instead seemed to invest more interest in hunting. As much as Sagacity would have enjoyed it had Evann cowered more and begged for mercy, she was glad, at least, to see that Evann wanted to help contribute to the pack. Sagacity took her time before she even responded to Evann's request, and in the end, she stretched out her shoulders, yawned and nodded. There was nothing else she wanted to do with the woman, so if she wanted to hunt, so be it.

She felt her point had been made, so she left Karpos and Evann to their hunt, once she too had caught the scent of the rabbit...But that wasn't what she'd smelled earlier. Her nose led her instead to a frozen, twisted corpse, which somewhat resembled a deer. Something had killed it some time ago and had left a bit behind- and it wouldn't be overlooked. Evann and Karpos could have their rabbit- this find was hers. She dug it up, and had to tug on it a bit to get it to come unstuck to the place where it'd frozen, but she was determined and hungry. She brought the morsel back to the communal den to nibble on and share with anyone who showed up.
