Tic for tak

After Zee had given him the silent treatment, he had started to consider how he treated strangers a little more carefully. He never knew exactly what would set his wife off, but he suspected chasing off a wolf who was dehydrated and clearly needed a little help would be one of those things. Even if she had trespassed on his land. It hadnt been malicious, she had clearly been a little delirious from the desert, so for once, he let it pass.

Instead, he gave her the night to rest up and think over his offer of a place to stay, food and shelter for as long as she needed up to the end of the season, in return she would give him something in return. They hadnt worked out the exact logistics yet, but physically labour seemed a likely option. As a newly budding pack, they could always do with another set of paws.

It was early the next day when the large, fanged Titan would make his way to her temporary den, and scratch politely at the wall near the entrance to announce himself. He sat back patiently, waiting to see if she was awake enough to hear his announcement.
