Larksong Grotto the world looks down and frowns

When Reek wasn't marking the borders or tending to Tavi's healing wounds, he typically found himself outside of the territory he intended to claim in search of recruits. It was a slow process, but things were beginning to come together. Something about building this pack brought Reek a semblance of ease— most importantly, it kept his mind off the family he had left behind in the Maplewood. It was his blind ambition that kept him afloat; a necessary distraction from the pain that welled in his heart.

Having not spent so much time within the territory, Reek took the day off from recruiting and took it upon himself to explore and spend some quality time within the heart of what would become his new home. The rocky terrain the closed the grotto in, providing a level of security the Maplewood did not have, soon gave way and Reek found himself in an oasis of crystal blue.

There, he found Tavi. Like her, Reek was just as breath-taken. He settled in beside her at the lakeside and spoke, "Isn't it beautiful?" Of course, it had been awe inspiring the first time he had passed though, but the effect did not diminish with time. He looked to Tavi and hoped she felt the same.
