Phoenix Maplewood let her sleep, for when she wakes she will move mountains

It takes several minutes before Ukko notices anything coming from inside the den. She could have fallen asleep or is staying quiet so whomever is outside would leave. He won't force her to interact with him, nor would he blame her. He'd move the kill as close as he could to the den and leave. Whether or not he'd feel comfortable visiting again would be played out later but a soft chuff roots him quickly to the ground. He whines again and inches forward. Cold. The sound strangles in his throat as he remains on the cool ground. Scarlett might be inviting him in but it's not her den and after running into Reek the other day, he's unsure about being caught in his den. Even his scent nearby might cause an uproar and he doesn't want to put himself out anymore than he already is.

Ukko knows he can't leave his friend, though, and he quickly scans the area for signs of the alpha. With not immediate hint, he slowly picks himself up and grips the rabbit between his teeth to crawl into the small place. The rabbit plops down in front of the woman and, very carefully, the male lowers back to the ground and curls against the side most exposed to the element. He noses gently into her fur--a spot without any wounds--and murmurs nothing into her skin. Ukko nestles close with his large body and thickened fur, resting his head close to her to give her as much body heat as he can offer.
