Swiftcurrent Creek Reflektor

For @Njal <3

Hard work yielded excellent results when Tuwawi put her mind to it. The days had passed slowly with her head in the dirt, but the new den was beginning to take shape. Already it was a warm, dry place surrounded by a strong wall of roots, which had honestly been rather troublesome at the start, however vital to keeping water out. Much work still needed to be done, but her body ached and her nails had gone blunt, yet a small bit of pride glowed in her face, and so the Kappa sought out her mate to evaluate her progress.

She had become so engrossed in her work that Tuwawi had practically forgotten to get in touch with him. Njal was undoubtedly on patrol, or maybe he had been patching things over with Fox. Her nose lifted into the air -- his scent was dull here. Perhaps he was on the Western border. Tuwawi craned her dirty crown back and howled into the evening sky, sing-song voice lighthearted.
