Swiftcurrent Creek Hopping down the bunny trail

He thought he might receive more push back than just some brief pouting but was pleased to see the prospect of learning things from him quickly distracted her. He nodded when she pointed out that there were many scents. Yes, there are, Kavik answered encouragingly. It was easy to get overwhelmed by the amount of unique scents, but with practice she could learn to tell them all apart, as well as tell how old they were. He walked over to a tree the stood tall on the edge of their border and, lowering his head, drew in the scents at the base of the trunk. The first long intake of breath brought many scents. There were deer, rabbits, and rodents, as well as his own recent marking. A second inhale, and he could scent Aditya and Alessia, both fairly recent. A few more fainter scents were noted upon further inspection, one of which belonged to Rosalie; he wasn't happy to find out that being pregnant hadn't stopped her from patrolling or whatever she had been doing near the edge of the territory. It wasn't safe for her to be out here, but he doubted she would listen to him if he suggested that she stay towards the deeper parts of the territory. He was probably being overprotective as usual, but that didn't change the spike of anxiety he felt imagining all the horrible things that could happen; he felt the same way today when he found Lainie so close to the borders. 

Refocusing on his task, he turned to his daughter. Come smell the base of this tree and tell me what scents you can pick out. It would be a good way to teach her how to use her nose, and repeating the activity would, over time, help strengthen that sense for her.
