Redsand Canyon Whatever makes you happy

Kallik chuckled at her sleepy words. I would also like five more minutes, but we have a lot of work to do, he told her as he nuzzled her cheek. He was maybe a little less indulgent out here than he would have been back home in their den. He was just a little on edge, and rightfully so; the last time he had been out here, he had fought a cougar. 

The forest is waiting, he reminded her, hoping it would wake her further. 

The scutarius stretched beside her but was reluctant to leave her side until she got up herself. They probably should have slept more the night before, but he had trouble feeling too bad about it.
