Phoenix Maplewood a squirrel and dessert

hiya ^^

 Oliver had settled into life at Redtail Rise, but not without a bit of difficulty. Both Reek and Arion had given him a hard time at first. Reek had sent him off on a fool's errand to gather some stinging plants that he didn't even have any use for, and Arion, well, he was just downright mean to him, calling him pathetic and lazy (though he could admit the labels were accurate). He was yet unsure of how the Alpha, Saena, felt about him, but he could guess that she didn't think very highly of him either. What could a beautiful, ambitious girl like her see in a slouch like him?

 Oliver tried to quiet his negative thoughts about himself and channel his energy into something more productive, so he'd come down to the maplewood to search for plants he could bring back to add to his own cache of healing supplies. Thanks to Reek, he had an abundance of nettle leaves, though that plant had limited uses. As far as he knew, no one in the Rise suffered from arthritis. He was hoping he could find a white willow tree growing here amongst the maples. The bark of this particular tree was an effective pain killer, so it would eventually come in very handy.

 As he walked, he caught a whiff of something sweet and started to mindlessly follow the delicious aroma to it's source. And that was how he came upon Rhett, lapping up the sap oozing from the bark of a maple tree. Oliver's mouth started to water, and he licked his chops hungrily. "Hey, can I have some too?" he asked, hoping the loner was in the mood to share.
