Dragoncrest Cliffs that leaves his body gaunt

silkie offers his sister a soft wag of his tail as she agrees with his suggestion that perhaps they should be a little more quiet. half of him expected her to fight him on it. relief that she hadn't washed over him like a wave for a moment. as kiwi investigates some brush, silkie moves opposite her, sniffing around a small hole near the spindly roots of a large redwood that rise out of the ground. he steps onto a particularly large and fat root, letting out a soft oof as he comes down a bit harder than he expected to on the other side. nevertheless, there are no rabbit scents regardless of how hard he sniffs at the base of the tree. slowly, he makes his way around it, investigating it for scents of anything else at this point when kiwi's shriek shatters the silence.
