Swiftcurrent Creek Reflektor

Njal's broke Tuwawi's spell when the wet warmth of his tongue grazed her coal nose. She blinked, realizing that a daydream had easily transported her to a place not so far off, and reached out a paw to bat at his maw in a coy and playful way. It was hard to believe that she had finally found a home with him here in Swiftcurrent... it wasn't like Windrunner Plains, but she would grow fond of this land in time. A rich spring would ease her feelings, and provide now opportunities.

Tenacity was an attribute often rewarded, and it was no different for the scarlet three year old who, after the passing for many days, finally saw the fruits of their struggle. She grew restless and flipped back onto her belly before shimmying next to Njal, force ably squeezing her way out of the den if he did not move. Dirt rolled off her fur as she stepped over him, his whither nearly brushing the fur on her stomach, as she feigned dominance. The roleplaying was short lived when Tuwawi rolled onto her back, goofy expression on her mug, with jaws open in a sassy way. Her supine figure laid next to him easily, relaxed paws curled up onto her chest's creamy bib. "I will make the den bigger," she told him, a smear of dirt still smudged along her side.

Her paws reched out to him again, egging any plyful antics from her mate. "Fox seems... nice," Tuwawi said with a dusting of sarcasm. The situation had been tense, and her first memory of the alpha was a mouthful of teeth aimed right at the face. For a moment she wondered why Njal had not stepped up to take the position. He was a capable wolf, and it was not a reach to envision him leading a pack. Her scarlet tail batted the ground, waiting to see how Njal would respond.
