The Sentinels If you don't care for it

There was silence, making Osprey wonder, whether no one was around or Blue willow had decided to move the "nest" elsewhere. Yet the smells around the den spoke a different story - fresh and strong - and the footprints that criscrossed the area meant that this was the busiest part of the whole pack. 

When she least expected it, a tiny face belonging to a child peeked through the den mouth. Osprey stared back, until the puppy withdrew to the safety. She spent a few moments, trying to decide, what would the best route of action be, and sticking to the idea of coming closer. So she picked up the hare and made her way to the doorstep, then put it on the ground and lied down herself too, putting her head between the outstretched forepaws. 

With ears perked curiously forwards she waited and hoped that the girl would appear again.
