Sweet spring days
Ochre

The great change in his family was a little overwhelming. This new pack was as strange as the wolves in it. Ochre had felt a little uneasy, not yet having settled into his place. Most days he spent out hunting so that he could contribute somehow without being stuck in close confines with those that he didn't yet know. That made him spend a lot of time away from the ladies in his life, however, and so today Ochre was doing something a little different. The quartet of wolves had been using a spare den in the caves that had been offered by Aurielle, but that wouldn't do for his family. No... Now that they had settled somewhat, he was going to build them a home. Ochre had chosen a place on the border between the plains and the moor. That way his family would have easy access to both places without traveling too far. The area that he had selected was close to the river as well, though not close enough that their den would be damp. It had been done in secret as he wished to surprise the ladies in his life. The big man had dug out a large main chamber where they could commune and entertain guests. Elba and Aslaug would have their own rooms beside one another. On the opposite side of the main space was another large chamber for Ochre and Daelos. Using a few bendy trees that he'd dug up from the place nearby with all of the birds, the blonde man had reinforced the ceiling and doorways, tying the trees together with vines. All that was left to do was to fill the place with comforts. Exiting the den through the spacious doorway, Ochre sat out in the sun for a time. The shifting wind brought the scent of his love wafting towards him and he turned his head just as she slid her side along his. Ochre nibbled behind one dark ear. "Mmmm..." he rumbled, reaching one thick foreleg out to wrap around his woman and pull her close. "You ruined my surprise." As always, his mate was fearfully intoxicating. Rising, he gave her rump a gentle swat before motioning for Daelos to enter their new home. He was already thinking up ways that she could make it up to him. "Speech" |
