Emberwood The sun will shine on a new horizon

The air was still, and the forest quiet. It was bright, once they moved past the evergreens that stood like sentries along the edge of the forest, where the sunlight fell down through bare branches and dappled the snow. His ear twitched when he heard a rabbit frisk away nearby, and he licked his lips. 

Fennec had been delighted to find the valley full of plants nearby- some dormant, he figured, and he couldn't tell one twig from the next when they lacked their leaves in wintertime. But his mate seemed convinced that the place was full of herbs, which would be very useful to her. A paradise for a healer, but...It'd felt too open, too exposed. They'd need shelter from the elements, and they would have little advantage trying to stalk prey animals out in the open. And while he had seen a mountain crumble and create devastation more than once, he still felt drawn to a life lived in the lee of something natural that could protect them from invasion. 

So the forest- albeit quiet and apparently lacking in the macabre department- felt like had potential. His instincts had already begun begging him to find a place for them to settle down and nest. He could smell other wolves on the wind as they travelled; part of him wanted nothing more than to sequester himself and his mate deep within the forest, away from where anyone else could get to them. 

"Maybe they're just shy." He said. "Listen to how quiet it is," He said, falling silent for a moment, to illustrate his point. In his mind, of course, something haunted wouldn't be necessarily moaning and wailing- but quiet...Quiet so as to lure spirits in. Quiet enough so that only those who actually listened could hear. "C'mon. Do your witchy thing...I'll find you somethin' to eat here now in a minute, if you'll do a read on this forest for us." He entreated her.
