Jade Fern Grove But tonight, you will play the tambourine

no worries -- it's totally fine!

he was becoming quite fond of the grove. it was lush and verdant and seemed to have good hunting. once again, surya pressed through the ferns, slipping onto the leaf-dappled paths he continued to learn. the scent of rabbit hung in the air, and he tracked it—

only to run into a sight he didn't quite expect.

um, he murmured, hanging back and watching the golden wolf roll in the flora. he couldn't resist cracking a smile, though he remained wary; the other might not react as mildly to his presence here. that looks fun? he ventured, raising his brows.

it did look quite fun. the aroma of flowers was intoxicating, and the ground was warm. if this was a new trend, the gilded yearling was its bellwether. surya felt inclined to follow along.
