Swiftcurrent Creek Palindrome

Set at the den, where Arric and Arlette are staying.

At nearly four weeks of age Burdock had ceased to look like mishapen, black and furry potato, but more like a... well, tall, proud, fierce and hungry wolf still trapped inside the shape of potato. But with legs. And a stubby and short tail. And... ears that heard everything and understood absolutely nothing. Black bead-like eyes with a bluish tint and a hint of something devillish about them.

So - this fine specimen of a beast-to-be was sitting at the mouth of the den one early morning, while the rest of his family was sound asleep. He looked around both curious and with a look of someone, who knew and owned everything.
