Blackfoot Forest leave the rest of the world behind

For @Havoc ! Sorry about the wait on getting this reply up, work's been kicking my butt.

A wide yawn parted his slender muzzle as Rory roused from an impromptu nap. The afternoon sun had been warm and cozy, and the pup had fallen asleep without any conscious thought in a bright patch of light. The sun had moved on now, leaving the forest shrouded and quiet. There was just enough sunlight left for Rory to see the clearing he was lying in; farther under the trees it was far darker.

He realized quite suddenly how exposed he was, eyes snapping wide from their half-drooping state. Rory scrambled to his feet quickly, ears flattening while he looked around for a place to hide for the night. Already, the far-off cries echoing through the forest were curling through the air, coming gradually closer.
