Blacktail Deer Plateau Making a Home

Dauntless panted happily at the other wolf's approval and he turned to dig more at the side of the earth. He watched out of the corner of his eye as she joined him and dug at a much calmer pace alongside him. Keeping half an eye on her, he slowly mimicked her antics and was able to more efficiently move the soft dirt.

As the sun began to set overhead, Dauntless grew tired. Even though it was growing dark, he had not yet heard his sisters or father come back. He did not wonder where they were, though. His sisters were much more adventurous than he was, and as for Grayday.... well, being the leader of the pack kept him away from the pups many night. Dauntless looked at the kind female wolf with large, soulful brown eyes when she came to check on him. Normally he would just curl up by himself and wait for the return of his natal family, but he really liked this wolf and hoped she would let him share her space with her.

"Can we stay here... together?" he asked her in his quiet, shy voice as he peeked at her beneath his dark rimmed eye lashes.
