Golden Glade metanoia

AW but maybe @Shalon? :)

He rose and lifted a paw, rubbing sleep from his eyes as he blinked, his sight taking a moment to adjust to the brilliant sunlight that shone through the canopy above. Nico breathed out quietly and shook himself, before setting off towards one of the caches in a steady trot. It wasn't long before he found it, and quickly, he demolished a rabbit he'd caught yesterday before changing directions, going straight for the borders. He found out that it was best if made sure he he did border patrolling in the morning and at night every day. That way, he wouldn't miss out. Plus, the guy needed a schedule to stick to - military habit. And old habits die hard.

Nicolas found the borders quickly, and began remarking them in a smooth, purposeful walk. While this was a boring job, he found that it gave him a purpose, and while others might lose interest after a while, he was always alert and on his guard, noticing the smallest of differences in his surroundings. In a way, he supposed, guarding was a good job for him, but he did not wish to pursue it, finding it more of a duty than an interest. Now, fighting however, was a different story. An entirely different story. It was his life, it was in his blood, and he knew he wanted to perfect it.

The soldier stepped forward, lifted a hind leg and sighed, spraying his scent over the bushes before moving once more. Man, he could definitely use some company.
