Swiftcurrent Creek red spring

Ferdie's ears perked up keenly, he heard something over the creek's burble... pulling himself out of his shared den he stood and stretched, elongating his back and spine. The brute's chest still ached, though the medicine the mad doctor gave him made him feel it less. Ferdie was beginning to wonder if this pain would never cease. It seemed he carried his baggage with him for to long.

With a great shake of his body, extra hair from his now dull but still well groomed pelt filled the air briefly before settling. Ferdie set off in the direction he thought he had heard the call. His eyes well adjusted to the dimming light, caught sight of her and his breathing hitched in his throat, she had come, she really had come! Suddenly there was a bounce in his step that had not been there since the first and last time he had left the territory.

He jogged up to her, and out of the pack boundaries gently he shoved his head to her shoulder and rubbed her for just a moment before stepping back lest she thought him over friendly, even though she was a sight for his sore eyes.

"Ame" He smiled his tail now held low instead of high over his back waved with delight, His tone held a smile and a jest "I have missed you my 'intriguing' friend, But I had no idea where to find you even if I were to leave this place, What brought you here?" He had not forgotten of her in fact thoughts of her made him want to leave the pack even more; but he still felt loyal to the pack and his loyalty was a fierce thing, not easily dissuaded or broken.

His eyes brightened and his head lifted to a comfortable position, and he spoke as if it were an after thought, "I have a red tail hawk nesting in the tree above my den and each time I see the bird I think of you" He wanted to overwhelm her with talk but thought it best to let her speak a little aswell
