Golden Glade New Horizons

*Crawls in curiously*

Snoozing beside his heavily pregnant wife, Alder was stirred by the pawsteps approaching. Deep of a sleeper as he usually was, Aspen's pregnancy and her hormones had him wired - plus, he wanted to prove to the silver woman that he was working hard before reclaiming his rank in the Court. 

Pulling himself to his paws with a quiet groan, the patchy pelted king took the few steps to the tunnel cautiously with a rumble of warning. Seconds before her voice called out to the reigning pair, Shalon's scent came to him. Pausing with a sideways glance at Aspen to make sure it was okay, Alder chuffed in greeting and invited her in with a curious tone.

                    "Welcome, Duchess."
