Lost Creek Hollow of all the trees that are in the wood.

All welcome! @Misty or @Numa or @Andalusia or everyone ever?? :3  Maybe @Ancalagon might like to hop in?  I know this takes place right after she leaves him and Flynn, but maybe he finds a reason to track her back down and then you might be able to use this towards Caretaker if you're still interested in pursuing that trade? 

Snow had begun to fall as Harlyn made her way back to her den, evergreen branches held softly in her teeth.  She had collected far less than she would, but she was pleased simply to have started at all.  Though she did not often share her traditions with others, they were no less important to her.  She had not told Mordecai of her intention to decorate their den with the bristly needles, but she was certain he would not object.  They'd be far enough removed so as not to poke at the den's inhabitants, and they would fill their home with the scent of the forest and of nature.  Who could possibly object?

The alpha had just hopped lightly across the babbling stream that signified to her that home was just another 30 minutes away when it happened.  She froze upon the shore in surprise and stiffened, obvious surprise etched upon her face.  She peered curiously at her side, wondering..  Was it them?  Her mind reeled back to the pregnant wolves she had tended in the past.  How soon had they felt the movements of their brood within them?  Her heart pounded excitedly, though when nothing more happened, she settled into deciding it had just been the way she'd landed upon the shore.  That was all.  They would make themselves known in due time, all was well.  But still.. she didn't move in hope that maybe... just maybe... it would happen again.
