Swiftcurrent Creek sparking up my heart

One ear flickered in the direction of the yelp, and with furrowed brows in concern, the Frostfur cast a glance to the den entrance. She emerged minutes after, and while he would have questioned if she was okay, the cool demeanor with which she approached with seemed to answer for him.

And then she followed with a rather awkward ‘hi.’

He was glad they were alone – she might have been young, but somehow, she also made him feel equally so – and less graceful about it. “Hi,” he offered back, his muzzle lifting as his gaze roved over her. She seemed to be improved since he had last seen her, though he had not gotten a good look – he had avoided eye contact with her as best he could during that interlude, and Kaskara’s fury was evident in her eyes afterward.

“I wanted to say welcome home. I didn’t get a chance to do that yet.” It wasn’t entirely true – he could have done it the moment her paws hit the Creek’s soil. But he also had his paws tied up in matters that certainly concerned him – and he was uncertain what Bazi’s reaction would be when she learned of Paarthurnax’s pregnancy also. “I would have brought something for you to eat, but our caches are empty..” No, they were certainly having a rough go at it, and the male rolled his shoulders back, trying to release the tension he currently felt.
