Firefly Glen the woodchuck song

As he returned to the Glen after having wandered around the lake near the Heartwood, Bronco's spirits were low. He hadn't eaten yet, but he'd had a noticeable lack of apetite lately, and had been spending too much energy wandering and searching the nearby areas without turning up any trace of Fennec's scent. If she had disappeared from the area, she was out of reach by now. And there was an entire world for her to get lost in, so he was beginning to lose hope. Just staging an all-out searching mission wasn't the best option- not with Winter coming soon. But he couldn't put his spirit to rest at night knowing he hadn't done everything he possibly could to find her.

He was wandering along the borders and wondering if he might be given leave to go on an extended scouting mission when the breeze ruffled his fur, and brought Meerkat's scent to him. He felt bad- he'd hardly spent much time with her the past week or so, compared to how he normally made himself present in her life just about every day. So when he caught sight of her trailing along behind him he stopped, and lowered his head to greet her with a low chuff when she approached.
