Haunted Wood ghosts haunting me

guardian hadn’t really expected compliance from his current ward but didn’t complain when it was given. you’re smart, he complimented, then reached out a paw to tap against her shoulder, but.. are you quick? without further warning, he buried himself deeper into the foliage, trying his best to hide a large body in some very shallow ferns.

this was the smarter decision, anyway. play-fighting was too risky with his size and apparent strength, and hurting arwen wasn’t something he intended to purposefully do. this game of hide-and-seek would do just as good, maybe even teaching the girl something about the hunt.
