Swiftcurrent Creek Reflektor

Fade soon or keep going? :D

Unlike her husband, Tuwawi anxiously sat brimming with energy like hungry kindling catching aflame. She was ready to act — ready to fill the caches, meet the rest of the pack, and finish the den. Anything to align the stars in their favor and make herself shine bright among Swiftcurrent's hierarchy. The ember was a busy woman, and her mind drifted momentarily as she pondered what bedding would be best inside the den (goose down? Fur? Sweet grass?). Only her husband's affectionate touch brought her back, and it made her mumble something inaudible, tempted by his intimate caress.

But suddenly Njal's weight shifted, and Tuwawi folded beneath him as if she was nothing but a blade of dried straw. Squished by her husband's sizable shoulder and skull, she feigned a struggle without going much of anywhere. "You lazy beast!" she harassed fondly, lightly kicking her hind paws against his side as she played the victim willingly, "You weigh as much as a bear!" Her squirming became more erratic until she had slipped out from under him, letting his head fall to the earthy floor with a thud. Without a moment to waste Tuwawi turned upon her mate, pouncing onto him much like a fox hunted in the snow. She straddled him with her small body and playfully chewed at the ruff of hair bordering his face. "Aha! Who is the pillow now?" she threatened between nibbles, attempting to smother him into submission.
