Gyrfalcon's Keep At the Base of the Mountain

Majesty yanked his face back when the fox's tail brushed over, trying to hold back a giggle and a sneeze at the same time. He scrunched up his nose in an attempt to get rid of the tickle, all the while smiling down at the little fellow to let him know he wasn't angry at the gesture. On the contrary, he thought the fox very brave - if not a little foolish also - to have done what he had. He listened quietly as the little canid explained what he was doing here, and then became curious. He looked in the direction of the mountain range that the fox spoke of.

"What did the bird tell you was there," he asked, "that would cause you to travel so far from home? The Wapun Meadow is a long way away from here. You must be brave to be traveling through wolf territory just to prove a bird right or wrong. That - or very foolish. But tell me: what did the bird say?"
