without a shadow of a doubt

Sohalia

 
Sohalia, shifted and ready to try her luck at catching the treeflit, waited for Melita's signal. When it came, she slunk around in the brush, trying to get behind the treeflit. Perhaps, if she missed, it would then flee directly into Melita's waiting cage. She tried to ignore the feeling in her belly that was suspiciously like guilt. After all, hopefully Mel would let the little creature go after she'd done... whatever it was that needed doing.

Maybe Soh should have asked more questions.

In any case, it was too late to back out now, and she stalked through the brush until she was positioned just so. Then, with a bunching of muscles and a pulse of excitement for her first real hunt, she pounced, aiming to trap the treeflit as gently as she could between her two front paws, trying to pin it to the ground.
