King Elk Forest Every heart has its own skeletons

in their love of the forest, the two had some common ground. harrison felt far more at home among the wild trees and the thick roots than he did in the open. the running water from the creek was good to have near to their claim, but he felt certain that the winter months would make it too cold to endure. the trees had created a natural home that seemed to shade the woodland floor and kept it warmer than he had felt elsewhere. while effie may have enjoyed the woods for different reasons, it was still something they shared with each other.

the pale snake meandered alongside her as she talked about learning the local herbs. he looked down the length of his muzzle at her and nodded his head, though he really didn't find the subject of plants to be all that interesting. it was a woman's task to learn the foliage and not the man's, but he had learned a few things from addison and lilah about the things that grew in the ground and what use they could be. “i like this forest a little more than the creek. do you think there are more herbs here or by the water?” harrison remarked and then asked to the girl. he canted his head some and cocked a single brow as he waited for her answer. really, he was hoping that he could get some leverage to feed to his brother.
