Ouroboros Spine BWP: TSS There be treasure here

As Ajei sniffed out a good digging spot, Shemesh rounded the tree and found another patch of dirt to investigate. She pawed at the ground experimentally, the dry soil giving way easily under her claws, and started to dig. Each backward scoop revealed something — buried leaf litter, the side of a tree root, gravel — but no rocks large enough to break Ajei’s geode. Maybe she was having better luck.

Shemesh peered around the tree to watch Ajei’s progress, her tiny paws unearthing a rough-edged stone slowly and methodically. ”Do you want help digging?” She asked, resisting the urge to take over again. This was Ajei’s treasure; unless she asked for help, the coydog intended on standing back and watching.

There were some things the pup couldn’t do — like pick up the stone and use it as a makeshift rock hammer — and Shemesh knew she could help again then.
