I hope you don't mind having another threads while the first one moves along... I need more caretaker threads! :P

Past midday, Aariak left his border-enforcing duties to quickly check on Tonravik and her pups as it was his custom, just in case the mother needed a little time off. The pups were growing fast and every day they reached out just a little bit further away from the den, so Aariak knew that now more than ever his help would come in handy.

It wasn't hard to spot the red pup hiding in the bushes in his way to the den, and when he did, Aariak observed him for a moment trying to figure out what he was doing. For a second, Three's tail got a rush of excitement and stired around in the air, just to suddenly get back to a resting position. It happened two or three times before Aariak noticed it happened every time a tiny chipmunk head appeared in one of the holes that seemed to have had a little re-design.

Aariak made sure to be silent in his approach, and gently laid besides the little Tartok. "Are you planning on catching it, Pingasut?" the male asked in a barely audible volume.
