Lost Creek Hollow Margie, thought you might need a little warm-up

Finally. It had taken him numerous days to finish- at least to his standards anyway, but when he left the den and then walked back into it after that, looking around, he nodded to himself. The entrance wasn't too large- he didn't want drafts to get in, after all, and it would keep both the winter's cold and the summer's heat at bay. Knowing that @Treason could already fit in and out of the entrance, he hadn't touched it much at all, simply softening the edges to make it look better, but he did his best while digging the rest and kicking the dirt out not to make the entrance any larger. 

The inside of the den had been difficult to dig in the winter, what with the ground being frozen, and he could only do small amounts at a time, otherwise he knew he'd wear his claws out or possibly bloody one of them. It'd happened, once or twice, so he'd called it quits and had given himself a couple days to recover before going back at it again. On this day, though, he'd spent longer than normal in the den that Treason had commissioned him to finish up, making sure that it was large enough for a family of wolves, but protected by not having a gaping entrance that might invite temperature and other predators. 

He'd finished the den up- just a little touch of class, or so he figured- by lining the den with fluff from kills he'd either made or dug up and had kept in his own sleeping place, waiting for the final day before he carried it, mouthful by mouthful, to Treason's den. He'd not mentioned this addition before, but by the time he finished there was a modest but comfortable bed of fluff tucked into a comfortable nest near the far wall of the den where he figured Treason might be the most comfortable. He'd caught a very small rabbit the day before and though it was very cold by now, it rested on the bedding he'd left there, like a mint on a hotel pillow. Finally satisfied with his work- which was actually much better than even he would've expected- he left the den, but sat down outside, finally taking a break from all the work he'd put in. He'd seek Treason out later, if she didn't stop by before he left, or maybe he'd just let her find the den on her own later....But part of him really wanted to get some credit for the work he'd done, and to see her reaction.
