The Heartwood But now it's like the night is taking sides

Official bodyguard- now why wasn't there a trade for that? Because he enjoyed guarding the borders and being called a guardian, but he absolutely loved his sister- and would have settled in to the official title of "Official Bodyguard" with pride, had it actually existed. Nevertheless, it made him feel proud of himself to know that Meerkat wanted him around, to go on journeys with her and to accompany her. He didn't sense that she wanted him to escort her out of fear- but as a comfortable precaution, and enjoyable company. He spent a lot of time with Meerkat- and was glad that she wasn't trying to ask him to take a step back. 

-"Cool,"- Bronco said, picturing an island out in the ocean. Of course, he had other questions- were they supposed to swim to the island? And if so- how dangerous would that be, considering the waves? Fortunately, Bronco didn't know much about sharks otherwise he might have shut down the entire expedition right there, not knowing that there was a landbridge. He nodded, though, with a fond smile on his features and he gave Meerkat one more good squeeze. -"I'm down for that. Best to talk to Hydra first for sure, since she might know where to find this place, and if not- I can still get us out to the ocean and we can travel along the beach until we see it."- He said. After all, it couldn't be too hard to spot an island big enough for a pack of wolves, right?

They would have quite a fair distance to go to get back to their den, but fortunately, Meerkat offered to help. He could have carried it on his own- but it was sometimes more fun to share. -"I can carry it, but if you'd take it by the tip of its tail, so it don't drag an' I don't trip on it,"- He offered, with a laugh, before they collectively made their way up the mountain, carrying the fox like a precious offering for a prince.
