Whitebark Stream We were not born for life in the tunnels.

Maybe @Daylily or @Chai? Otherwise AW.  :)

Artyom, having delivered a fresh hare to @Dawn that morning, rested quietly alongside her for a time while she ate her fill. He set about preening the fine silver furs at the base of a lobe when she was done, eager to feel closer to her with a good grooming session before the duo departed their hollow to assume their respective duties. 

He bid his mate a fond farewell and watched her go until she vanished between the foliage, then turned away to deliver what remained of his catch to Whitebark's nearest cache.

Task complete, Artyom assumed another hunt- this time, for packmates. With concern for Dawn's sickness and his monitoring of the nearby herds, he'd seen very little of his comrades. Nose to the ground, the pale ranger sought to locate any fresh markers that might lead him to the location of someone, for he was keen to socialize.
