Ouroboros Spine If you were a chicken, you’d be impeccable.

Kukutux had advised him that he ought to build himself a den, so he had begun to do so. He liked being near the lake, so he had meandered along the foothills through the wooded lands which were within view of the lake, but far enough from the shore that he would not be in danger of having his den flood if the lake took on water from snowmelt. He found a place where two large boulders were jutted against one another, creating a small, natural, triangle-shaped opening between them but he couldn't fit in. So, he started digging, opening up a space which would allow him to dig his den between the two stones which would then act as a solid, slanted roof. They were covered in moss, which led him to think that his den might be quite beautiful to behold come springtime, especially if little flowers could bloom all over the boulders. He would have to wait and see. 

He put a fair bit of work into digging his den, before he stepped out to mark the area thoroughly, and then headed off to find something to eat. Digging was tiring work, and tiring work made him build up an appetite. He began to trot along the hillside, head down, in search of a trail potentially left behind by prey when he caught another male wolf's scent. As far as he knew, there were only three males in the pack- which meant this had to be the second hunter known as Zane. Keen on getting to know the other hunters in the pack, he temporarily gave up on scouting out a meal, and began following along Zane's trail instead.
