Sun Mote Copse Climbed a mountain and I turned around

Phox ambled toward the caches, intent on getting at least some work done today. Besides, he wanted to make sure he wasn't completely ignoring Figment and Fennec, too. With new children almost certainly on the way, Phox wanted to cherish the next couple of quiet months with his two first-born children. Fennec's scent was the first one he came across, and it was easy enough to catch up with her, considering her slower movement in comparison to Figment, who always seemed to be running this way and that.

As he approached, it looked like she was just getting up to do something, but that didn't stop him from making his way toward her. Hey Fennec, he said, letting her take the lead on any physical contact. He'd been trying to do that more, especially with her, since he thought he'd noticed her wince the past couple of times he'd gone in for a hug or nibble on her ear. You busy? I was going to go make the rounds on the caches. Thought you might like to come along.
