Coconut Grove I know places we can hide

<3!

Slavik hadn't forgotten about his pack search, or any of the packs he'd come across in his travels. He'd simply, pushed them to the back burner, because at the moment Speedy was the perfect pack for him. Together they could hunt better, find shelter easier, protect each other, stay warmer at night, and have loads of fun. Slavik was fully content, but like his companion, sometimes a cool winds would remind him that they're adventure would have to come to a pause eventually.

They were on their way to the sea, a place that Slavik promised himself that he would go to one day. He could only imagine what it was like from the descriptions he'd been given, and the way he thought of it was like the blue sky switching places with the ground, a pool of blue for as far as the eye could see. He couldn't wait to see his illustrations in action, but until then the pair of friends had found a quite unique grove. The trees here were tall and skinny, with weird fans at the top, like the feathers on a bird's butt. Slavik had his eyes glued to the fronds above him he didn't even notice the little brown balls until Speedy pointed them out.

The sunshine boy turned his head, ears perked with interest and he bounded over to his friend's side. hu-uh, he replied to her question, watching the weird orb rolling about her paws. He looked down with pure intrigue as she pawed and gnawed at the strange thing, which was apparently harder than it looked. Ready to have a go of his own, he said, Here let me crack it, and started to roll it towards his own chest, where he would begin to try and bite in himself.
