This looked lonely! <3

Murkwood it is.

Thanks, ma.

In the quiet of the coastal woodland, those soft words carried just a bit; just enough that Dirtwater Fox caught some of them. Only a few. Murkwood. Thanks, ma. It brought a scowl to his face, thinking of his own mother who had never once confessed to the title. Would he have called her ma if she had?

He burst out of the trees bristling but otherwise unaggressive; agitated, but harmless. @Dagur would be nearby, of course, and the last thing Dirtwater Fox needed was a scolding from him. So he only regarded the man with a look of distaste.

If you're so indebted to your dear ma then where is she, hm? Up here? He tapped his skull with a paw.
