It seemed the digging had been put to good use, making a den for the male. He even specified where, which made the selection of her den's location a lot easier. So his was by the lake? Then hers would be...close the lake as well...but more specifically, close to his. Not too close in case he thought of her as a bit of a stalker but not too far away to ensure she could at least see him once a day. They didn't have to properly talk; she just wanted to peer from the entrance and see him walk by. Besides, she couldn't imagine not being that close to him, even if she had spent the past few nights on her own out in the open. It'd be nice if we shared the same den, she thought almost dreamily to herself, though shoved those thoughts aside when she realised what she was imagining. Embarrassment melted over that bliss. Let's...not think about that.
Inspecting his muddied image, he suggested to go wash it off. She wouldn't mind accompanying him, if anything, she wanted to come with him. After all, she hadn't seen the lake before this day and hadn't gotten around to exploring it, though she knew that wasn't the actual reason. "I'll come with you," she added with a smile, lifting her chin in the direction of the lake. She began to walk over to it, hoping he would join her. When they were walking, she would answer his inquiry of her own den. "I still don't have one," she confessed, staring down at her paws. Should she tell him about the bush she slept under in the plains and how she stared up at the stars at night? Better not. He might think it was weird and just tell her to dig a den instead. It wasn't like he was going to join her so they'd stargaze together, although now that she thought about it, it did leave a few nice fantasies in her mind. Off-topic, again, she inwardly groaned in annoyance, scolding herself to even dare think such thoughts. Looking back up, she offered another smile as she gazed into his yellow eyes. They were like stars themselves, and like stars, she could stare into them all day. "But I've decided where to put it." Hopefully he wouldn't ask where, or that would be just...awkward. She planned to dig it out on a day he wasn't around to see, and when he did notice it was hers she would just laugh and remark what a coincidence it was. He wouldn't mind, would he? After all, she was entitled to put her den wherever she wished, and as mentioned before, it wouldn't be too close to his.
