Swiftcurrent Creek Ain't no thinking thing

Hello! Long day at work. :D

Their shared den still had that new home smell about it. Bazi was reluctant to leave, but curiosity had taken her on a trip to Wapun Meadow that day - after her caving adventure with Blue Willow, she was keen to track down some yarrow. The Plateau healer had armed her with three key facts - it was a flower, it grew in fields, and it could be either white or purple. Being a novice, she returned with a 50/50 mix of her true target and cow parsley, which bore a close resemblance. Close enough.

She wanted to coax Ferdie into accompanying her on a second trip to the saltrock caves, but found him otherwise occupied. Bazi grinned at the display of male posturing through a mouthful of vegetation. The older wolf had been an alpha once and was ill-accustomed to life in the middling ranks - especially when it came to interacting with other males. Bazi dropped her little bundle and raised her plume of a tail into the air, closing the remaining distance at a gallop. Age differences aside, she was technically the most settled of the three, and intended to use her position to diffuse tension.

"Ahoy!" she greeted them both, nipping playfully at Jace's ruff before circling round the back of Ferdie to stand beside him, small and impossibly white next to her self-appointed guardian. "Am I invited to this party?"
