Blacktail Deer Plateau staring down the hole again

Aww yeee! <3

Oh, the mother was inside of the den. Well, in that case she was no doubt evidently aware that he was there. And since he hadn't been run off just yet, Mordecai took that was a good sign. Perhaps she had been aware of him longer than that, who was to say. As Eilidh went for a go against his paw, Mordecai allowed himself to relax ever so slightly.

As she pounced on his paw, he attempted to remove it from beneath her in some squirrely fashion, wriggling his leg about. A quiet, playful growl left him in the process, only hoping it would rile her up just a little more. He'd probably learn his lesson in the end — when she probably caught his paw — but for the time being, he was content to roll about and cause a little ruckus with a wolf a fraction of his size.
