Blackfoot Forest The Butterfly Blooms

Both young wolves had drifted off into a soft slumber, the closest thing to a pleasant time since the attack. The sudden howl managed to retract Lennon from his nap, having to blink a few times in order to adjust vision. He stretched out his mouth, a long yawn poured out from his jaws before shaking his head in one last effort to wake up completely. The realization that it was  Korei's howl was delayed from his sleepy mind, but once he did the hickory dog was on all for legs and replied with quick howl himself. 

His chest felt light knowing Korei was safe, and the hopeful idea of help only added to his elation. Finally, his cheerful personality was shining through the clouds that had been hiding it. He nudged Alarian gently, "Wake up, wake up!,"  he murmured excitedly in a hushed voice - similar to a young child waking up it's sibling on Christmas morning.
