Blacktail Deer Plateau all morning, all night

Dauntless was feeling more perky this second leg of the trip. He had been given plenty to eat on the journey by the ever watchful adults and the fuel had been good for his growing body. He was tired when they arrived at their new home, but he did manage to wander around and sniff eagerly at the vegetation. It smelled so much different than Morningside, and his brain worked at processing all the unique scents.

Once Grayday had finished digging the protective hole for them, Dauntless scrambled over and licked at the big male's chin with submissive affection. His tail, which was starting to show long guard hairs, wiggled back and forth pleasurably. For all of the fuss he had made over coming in the first place, he was more than happy to now have arrived at an endpoint. He eagerly followed his mother and siblings into their freshly dug out hollow, nipping affectionately at Lavender as he went by. It smelled of damp, freshly tilled earth here and the soil was soft and airy. It was certainly pleasant enough. Dauntless happily curled up and prepared for a nice long nap.
