Whitebark Stream somnus

the blackbird wandered soundlessly from his family's resting place toward the creek adjacent. his large, blue eyes searched carefully for something worth watching, but could not choose one out of the many. he stopped beside a small patch of wild blossoms to watch the "buzzums" bounce around until the sound and scent of another wolf caught his attention. 

would he hide, or would he seek? alsek thought about this for a moment, then picked a flower from the group and made his way. he hid within the foliage to examine the stranger, as one does, and approached after recognizing him as the border wolf. 

germanicus was asleep, and alsek knew better than to wake a sleeping wolf. alsek walked as quietly as a pup might manage, then dropped the flower at the new man's paws. quickly, the blackbird retreated, hoping to find some other hiding place before germanicus awoke.
