Dragoncrest Cliffs The Prince And The Dragons

I hope it's okay I sneak in a post before Seri. If not, I can delete it and put it up after! Sorry for the ramble. <3

Furi is digging a hole through thick, winter-hardened soil. It isn’t an easy task and her toes ache from the prolonged activity but she wants to get the cache done before @Rose returns. Set several yards away from the den she’d chosen, she thought it would be nice for the girl to store her own food in it if she wanted. She had a secret spot for the best of things but she knows exactly what she’ll put in this one, too, if she ever gets to finish. With the ground so hard, it’s taking her at least twice as long to finish and she doesn’t want the other to catch her in the act so she can surprise her.
 
When the call is made, her eyes narrow with frustration. It’s her duty as gona to take care of the borders but Heda is back and there are plenty others, but, she realizes after several seconds that the call is for her. Her jaw tightens and she knits her brows together, staring at the best before her feet. Dirt cakes her paws. Who would be calling her? She thinks of Sif, most recently, but she doubts it to be her, and Witchbaby lives along the coast, but the voice is far less feminine than she expects either of them to be. And then her eyes widen, nearly falling over as she spins around. The half-finished cache is forgotten for the time being as she runs with everything she has in her. She has to get there before anyone else, given the recent circumstances of the last wolf she tried to help. After so long since seeing him, she didn’t expect him to come, and so her heart seizes up into her chest and she forgets to breathe.
 
With legs as long as hers, it does not take long to get there and she immediately sees Arrille and beelines to him. He doesn’t look as bad as when she’d seen him last and that pulls at the corner of her lips. She quickly forces it away but her tail wags, unable to fight off how much better she feels. He is still thin and it would take time, as it would with her, but she doesn’t know if the rest of Drageda will feel the same. Rose, at least, has something to offer and has proven she knows a thing or two. She doesn’t have the same luxury knowing that about Arrille but she hopes, for his sake, that he does.
 
“Arrille!” she chirps and moves forward, only then realizing he is not alone. Furi blinks away from him to see the other wolf and she opens her mouth to speak but little comes out but a strangled sound. The pale girl looks familiar and she stares at her for a long moment but does not say anything else for the time being, hoping for an explanation before anyone else shows up. The last thing she needs is Blixen crashing into the scene only to get upset with her again over the same damn situation.
