When it rains, look for rainbows.
The compliment had Nova increasing her efforts. She snapped her jaw at their hind legs, lunging to score the occasional strike with her claws. Most of them stayed far enough out of reach, but she didn't mind, streaking across the snow like a flurry of black, rainbow, and giggling chaos. By the time she reached the other end of the slope, she was nearly covered in white powder, panting at the effort, although her spirits weren't dampened in the slightest.
Turning to spot Sah across the way, she trotted over happily, tongue lolling out the side of her mouth. Satisfaction rolled off her in waves. The free meal was just an added bonus when she saw the downed luxere, the black wolf howling over it. Unable to do the same, she let out a loud REOWR again, devolving into delighted laughter. That was so FUN! Did you see how they ran?! I was like 'REOWR' and they were like 'Aaaah'! Then you were all over it like 'Awhooo!' And now it's dead! Do we get to eat it now? Not in the slightest bit bothered by the blood, more curious than anything, Nova bounced her way to the quickly cooling body. She extended her neck forward, sniffing in unpracticed huffs. It didn't seem as appetizing or clean as fish, but it'd be more than enough to ease the hunger starting in her stomach.

When it's dark, look for stars.
