Cyg wakes up long before the sun begins to rise, hoping to have a taste of some rabbit stew, but quickly discovers that his prey has rested itself on the horse. "Oh well" he thinks to himself, as he stands up and stretches, almost dropping the cat from his lap in the process. He catches it, takes his cloak off to create a small bed with it, and gently places it in the burrow that he made.
He sets out silently, and hunts for something small for breakfast. His only encounter is a pheasant that tries to fly away from him, but he leaps off a near by tree and catches it mid-takeoff with his claws. He returns just as the sun is rising, and smells the smoke of a cooking fire. He goes to investigate, to find his host cooking breakfast.
