Lost Creek Hollow Immaculate

Aha, there he was.  Right on time, and with lunch I see, she said, nuzzling Terance back with a wag of her tail and a faint smile.  To say she regarded him warmly might be a a bit over the top because her standard expression was probably closer being a cold block of metal, but she certainly appreciated all he'd done thus far for their young family -- especially since she'd planned and been ready to do it all alone if needed before things took the turns they did.  Hope you're ready for this lot to be trouble.  It was much easier to keep them contained in the closeness of the den -- it was intimate and safe, but damn going outside and having room to stretch was nice.

If there wasn't the fact this was almost certainly going to be chaos, she thought it might almost be nice to just curl up with Terance and watch the trio explore, but since the area wasn't exactly fenced, Jet's straight line off to nowhere seemed like it meant things weren't going to go so smoothly.  Treason woofed, trying to summon her daughter back, which probably had a higher chance of working than her actually talking, but hey, she was gonna do that too, Jet.  Come back. Treason didn't sound pissed or anything, mostly just attempting to nicely convince her.  As unlikely as it was.  A look to Terance like, 'Are we gonna have to go fetch that kid?' but at least pups at this age weren't exactly the fastest things around.

The problem with three was that there was one more of the little demons than there were of the adults.  Ash was a pointy-mouthed menace, and it was probably unfortunate for Terance that he was the one who was getting the chomps for now.  Treason took the moment to reach down to the rabbit and start to tear into it, woofing again at Jet, hoping the combination of the call and smell of the blood might draw her back -- if not, she'd have to be retrieved in a moment.  They'd been big enough for small amounts of meat for a while now, but this would certainly be the freshest they'd had, even if Treason probably had to break it down into smaller pieces for them.  Honestly she was fully expecting to have Ash attached to her nose in about five seconds.   And that was when Hood finally appeared, and since her mouth was full at this instant, she opted to just wag her tail.  Yes, it was ok to come out.  He didn't seem so sure.
