Redhawk Caldera Keep your head up

Elwood had mentioned the top of the volcano, - technically caldera, but Somnia didn't feel like correcting him - and she realized that she had no idea what was up there. She felt the urge to climb up and explore, but at the same time, she didn't want to leave Elwood just yet. Somnia would've asked him to do it with her, but the gray wolf had said that climbing was difficult with his injuries. She briefly wondered if run-ins with cougars were copious on the caldera before moving on.

Next, Somnia heard Elwood mention dens. Even though they were both new, Somnia assumed he had a couple more days worth of exploring then she did. Apparently good den spots were scarce here. If necessary, you could always make one yourself by digging, She suggested before adding on, But, the downside is that you'll have to dig in far enough without too much downward slope, or else the weather will ruin it. Rain could create a mud pool in the bottom, and a heavy snow could trap you in if it's the right angle. Trust me, you don't want to spend half a morning trying to escape your own den. Somnia saw no need to mention the fact that with dirt and uprooted bush, another wolf could trap you in the den. So far none of the wolves here seemed cruel enough to use that trick as her brother had.
