Blackfeather Woods sleep is a welcome gadget in our headbondhood

The discovery of the state of Firefly Glen and the neighbouring mountain had left something heavy in Taikon's chest. By all accounts, things in his life had become much calmer. @Takiyok had confessed that she loved him, and he had done his best to tell her the same. It did not feel as storybook romantic as he knew that she deserved, however. He wished he could give her more, and so he had spent much of his time away from the den site, hunting and filling caches the same as he had done before leaving her.
Taktuq was still nowhere to be found. Taikon hoped that she had wandered back over to Valette and her father, but knew that the chances of this were slim. He also knew that Lunaria was probably dead. He refused to torture himself with these facts.
And so when Zephyr was kind enough to bring him a rabbit while he was on the trail of a rabbit himself, Taikon was pleased to have the distraction once again. His own body was taking its damn time to recover, and he was nothing compared to the healed and ready leader boy. Is that for me? He asked gently, bowing his ears and hazarding a soft shoulder nudge.
