Sun Mote Copse The more I see, the less I know

Made a few assumptions -- hope all is okay! If not, just nudge me and I can edit! :)

So, @Finley and Elwood had missed Wildfire's original call a few days before. And, let's be honest -- it was because they were kerflomping on the other side of the plateau. (Hey, they were old, but they weren't dead yet!)

But today, they happened to be taking a morning stroll along the territory's eastern edge when they heard their goddaughter's voice. Elwood stopped in his tracks and looked in that direction, ears standing tall. Luckily, neither he nor Finley seemed to be losing their hearing yet, so they both deciphered the message quickly and shared a glance. They didn't even need to discuss it; they began to pick their way carefully down from the plateau and into unclaimed land.

The journey wasn't particularly far, but it still took them a good few hours at a leisurely pace to accommodate Finley's bum hip. Luckily, it was a straight shot and an easy trek across the snowy landscape. As they neared the gathering of tall trees, they paused and Elwood noted that there was already evidence of Wildfire's claim here. Atta girl, he thought, and then, with a smile, he howled to let @Wildfire know they had arrived.
