Blacktail Deer Plateau Making a Home

His eyes widened in wonder when the gentle wolf offered for him to help, and in all of the naivety of youth, he thought she actually needed his help. Dauntless had never been needed by anyone before, and he felt his mind opening up to all sorts of new possibilities. He was quiet and reserved by nature, making it easy for his sisters to steal the spotlight. Usually, they did most of the talking while Dauntless would hang back. The sudden disappearance of his mother did not help either. The pups had been counting on her to take them out and teach them about the world, which was why it had not even occurred to Dauntless yet to introduce himself to this kind wolf. Nevertheless, he was eager to try out this new concept of being of help and so he wagged his tail affirmatively, gave the wolf a tiny little smile and then bounded around in the small hole as he sniffed at the sides.
