Whitefish River But it wasn't for me.

Just as he was about to head out, a familiar voice caught him in mid-stride. Tri-shaded face turning with a bright smile to greet the lovely Lumiya as she approached and wagged his tail as well. Lady Lumiya, it is a pleasure to see you! How are you settling in? He knew that the river was different to the beautiful weeping woods that the fairies claimed earlier in the year, he could only hope it did well for now until she chose to either stay permanently or move on to her next project.

All he could hope is that they would remain in touch. He did like the fairy queen after all.

Peeking around her shoulder to the bird perched on her back, he smiled and offered it a dip of his head too to return the kind silent gesture. And greetings to you too sir bird. At Lumiya's suggestion, his own body rose. Another weight off his shoulders lifted by the lovely Lumiya and her offer to aid. Funny enough, I was just about to head out myself. He patted on the ground with his front feet in a small happy dance. With your nose and his eyes - he looked at the bird again. We can get whatever we want!

He wasn't certain what kind of prey Lumiya was capable in taking down, but whatever it was it had to be better than a few hares or some fish. Whatever it was, he would still fish later to fill up the caches to their fullest. Maybe exchange patrolling with some fishing for a bit now that Ira was back.
