Her den? He wanted to see her den? Well, if he insisted. They didn't really have anywhere else to go. "Well, you've already seen it," she admitted with a nervous chuckle, pulling away from his embrace to lead him to her den. Her green-tipped tail flicked in a beckoning gesture as she began to walk, hoping he would follow close behind. Her nook wasn't too far away, and within a few strides she rounded around the bend that brought her to the large willow tree, perhaps the largest of the entire forest. It was in the heart of the territory, standing tall against the wintery breezes. Willow tendrils kissed the soft earth. At the base of the tree, where the twisted roots rose from the soil, was her nook, now theirs to share. She carefully stepped around the den, craning her neck to look into the dark space. "It might need to be dug out a bit more. You know, to fit the both of us." She was about to add 'and a family' before she quickly clamped her mouth shut. What was she thinking? A family? Pups? How could she be thinking about such a permanent settlement? They had only just confessed their love for each other, and not long before that they had only been friends. Shared a few nights together, but hey, that didn't mean she was ready for pups. Xephyris had to be putting thoughts in her head.
