Phoenix Maplewood The King of Carrot Flowers

So sorry for the wait on this one! It totally got away from me! Oh, and tagging Saena for reference purposes!

A cascade of dirt was sent flying backwards at the paws of the ragged alpha as he frantically expanded the space inside the alcove to make it somewhat livable. It was humble, much like the den he had shared with Wynter in terms of size. While the waterfall he shared with @Saena had been a better home by leaps and bounds, their new creak-side hole would make due in the meantime. Well, at least once Saena weighed in on the matter, it would be home.
  
So taken with his work, Reek hardly noticed Ryker's approach and subsequent approval of the spot he had picked. "Be jealous," prodded Reek in a joking tone as he popped his head back out of the entrance hole. "You don't think it's too dark though?" he asked, hoping to gauge Ryker's input before running it by the missus.

While Ryker complained about the bugs in the Maplewood (which for some reason, hadn't bothered Reek one bit), he returned to his painstaking work inside the alcove. "You going to sit there and complain some more, or are you going to help me dig?" he yelled from inside the dark interior, playfully inviting Ryker in to take a look around... and work, of course.
