Stone Circle Instincts Lead Me Home

Another chuckle escaped him as she fired off a round of questions, each as smart and practical as the last. He wanted to answer in kind, but honestly, he was a little overwhelmed by the Spanish Inquisition that was going on. In an effort to save face, he simply wagged his tail and played coy.

"Why don't you just come look at it?" he said teasingly, giving her flank at gentle nip before leading the way in that direction.

The den wasn't much to look at from the outside, but it was neatly hidden in the trees - that ought to please her, he thought, but he wasn't entirely sure what a woman like Amber would look for in a den. He stayed on the sidelines, allowing her to investigate it to her heart's content.

"I can dig it out as big as you want," he promised, hoping that this would suffice. He was not adverse to moving house, but there would be something very satisfying about having her come into his own space - even if it meant he had to sleep outside as the pups grew bigger. He was a winter wolf, after all, and made for climate far colder than this one was likely to become.
