Phoenix Maplewood There'll be things you never asked her

Shiv, but I thank you for helping both. He sat in silence until she spoke, and it made him glance over at her, studying her for a moment. Definitely different, but it was a good different. The appreciation was unexpected and a little surprising to him, but it made the corners of his mouth turn up. No one had thanked him for thanking them. Realizing he had been watching her this entire time his thoughts had ran around in his head, he swiveled his head away from her, his expression thoughtful now. He stood, took a few steps away from her and shook his coat, letting it fluff out then settle slowly. Stretching slowly, he yawned, still sleepy. He had never been a morning person, the midafternoon and night the time of day he had the most energy. The trees moved in the wind, and he looked back into the woods, and they seemed to call to him to play. His tail wagged slightly, but he turned around to look at Uki. Smiling at her, his eyes sparkled. Impulsively, he opened his mouth to ask her to come with him, maybe going hunting with him. He paused a moment and almost decided against it, yet it wouldn't hurt to ask. Would you like to go hunting with me? For the pack and pups, of course. Stilling his tail, he was quiet as he waited for her answer, smiling.
