Blacktail Deer Plateau beguiling

 

This time when she leaned in to nip him it was with more purpose - an intent there the same as the spark in her eyes. Mischief became her, after all, and in this she felt her most comfortable. "Any father would watch with more than just passive observation. Hopefully they will both flourish." Catori said simply. Her own father had taken a keen interest in any beau she briefly found but Chelan had been far more....well. He'd been intense. "Hmm, hopefully she'll be up to the task." Catori didn't know Dawn after all and any sort of pride she took in hunting would be news to Catori just on that basis. 

She was content to lean across him, skull resting on his shoulders where she could lean into his nape. She could still tease his fur from time to time, sampling his coat at her leisure. "If she doesn't take to it, will you keep leading the hunts through winter?" Catori assumed he had been, after all.
