Waking Body and Mind

Shilah stirred as sunlight streamed into his temporary den. He planned to dig a more permanent one up by the falls but until then he rested in an unused den near the hot springs. Those would be a nice feature come winter. For now though the weather was cool but not unpleasant. The sun was shining brightly and it warmed his body as he stretched and eventually left his den to begin getting a feeling for his new home as well as to start patrolling the borders.

Curiosity pulled him first to the hot springs. Stream rose gently above the shimmering pools, some more so than others and so he assumed some were hotter. That was good to know. He peered down in the nearest one, the steam gently tickling his nose and he could see how this would help with congestion.
