Swiftcurrent Creek three days rest

Fox listened, though because she was an inattentive wolf, she would likely forget the details. At some points while Ferdie was talking, she zoned out completely, daydreaming about the coming spring and Haunter. She managed to snap back to reality just as he was finishing his speech, and she looked at him with indifferent eyes. Fox was one of the least chatty folks running around in the creek, and the imbalance made her uncomfortable. “Uh huh,” she replied vaguely, unsure of what he had really said due to her spacing out so much.

“Well, anyway, I should… get some more rest.” It was a crappy way of her saying good-bye while not outright kicking him out of her way. “I’ve got that rabbit to eat, anyway.” Without further adieu, Fox turned, picked up the rabbit, and scurried into her den. She would eat Ferdie's kill there and contemplate what to do with him.
