A new beginning

His front half lowered until his elbows were resting on the snow splashed earth, ears pricked forward waiting on her response. He would be happy to look all day long if they had to, but he would also enjoy working on this den if it was doable. She reaffirmed him, saying that she thought it would work. That was definitely good news. A smile crossed his lips as the twinkle glittered in his eye. Pools of lime gazed in her direction as she mentioned that a large family had lived there. That was good, and it certainly meant that they would be able to expand the den to make it work for the two of them. He only wondered how long it would take. The icy cold ground of winter would not make digging easy, but with two of them it would not be quite as bad as it would if he were trying to do it solo. "Well, a slightly smaller family will be taking their place." Jaws flickered to the side, hoping to nip at her tail playfully - though as he drew near he found himself drinking in her scent once more. He watched her excavate a bit more and return her front half into the bowels of the earth. Delicately he placed his paws to the side of her bodice and dug out some more. The earth crumbled beneath his force - with more ease than he'd ever expected. Perhaps the cold had made the terrain brittle and easily worn away? Who knew! With a smile he scooted the earth backward, digging the hole wide enough so that he could ultimately peer into the den alongside her. When he'd done enough his front half slipped into the darkness and he mused aloud. "Wow, it's bigger than I thought." He tilted his head to the right and left. "If we don't manage to make it big enough by tonight, we can stay elsewhere until it suits us both." There were always plan b's and c's when it came to home renovation. With that, he began to dig on his side of the den, moving toward the back of it - wondering how far he could go until he ran into the roots of an oak. "speeeeech" |
