"La la la! …Vipers snatching, falcons hatching ~"
While Nifty's lyrical talents were…non-existent, he still pranced along proudly, his paws making no sound on the ground as he came to the standing stones. The young tom caught in his periferal vision the flicking of a viper's tail.
Oh! This should be buckets of fun!
Dancing up onto each stone with the grace of a tortoise, his tail wagging like a dog's, Nifty reached the top quickly. Despite the fact that he could barely keep his paws on the rocks.
"Hello, hawky!"
Nifty watched the bird circling above him with wonder, a look of innocence untainted by fear. His bright green eyes followed the falcon's flight patterns.
A viper then flashed out from under the rocks and snatched a mouse from the grasses, too fast for the little rodent to even make a noise. Nifty watched the snake with interest, and as the wiggly little thing slithered under the rocks again, he leaped down and crouched outside the place the snake had disappeared.
The fact that it could flit out and kill him any second didn't even cross his mind as he pawed at the ground by the base of the rock. It was a mouse squealing that saved him; the distraction wasn't exactly welcome by Nifty, but he still darted around and found the mouse quickly, killing it with a bite.
"Silly mouse. Going around making noise, that will get you killed!"
He lectured the dead body, then picked it up and placed it out a bit farther away from the stones, pulling grass from the ground and placing it over it.
