Hey, since this has been sitting for a month, I'm going to drop it off in the archives. If you want to revive and continue, just say the word! :)
Not only did Raven want to dig for worms, she wanted to put them on his head. Peregrine laughed genuinely at her childish exuberance and innovation, then bobbed his own head. "That sounds like fun. Let's do it." Whatever melancholy he felt over Jaws's untimely death momentarily faded to the back of his mind as he grinned at his youngest puppy, then motioned for her to follow like his little shadow.
They arrived at his destination in less than two minutes. "I'm not sure what happened here," he mused aloud. Why wasn't there grass growing here? "Maybe there was a carcass here that took its time decomposing..." he continued thinking out loud before shaking his head and meeting Raven's gaze. "Have at it, Rave."
He didn't doubt she would dig right in (literally!). Peregrine positioned himself near one corner of the patch of earth and began running his own paws through the soil. It felt so thick and cool, sifting between his toes. Peregrine made a noise of satisfaction low in his throat. After a slow start, he soon began to dig more vigorously, even swinging around so that all the dirt he pulled from the earth he playfully flung over his daughter's back.
Raven got her chance for revenge a while later, when she indeed unearthed some worms. Rather than plop them on Peregrine's head, she flicked them in his face. He couldn't tell if she was more grossed or fascinated when he slurped one just like a spaghetti noodle. Their playtime culminated with Peregrine catching a second one in his teeth, holding it there and chasing his squealing daughter with it as she fled back toward the main clearing.
