The winds, they scream your name

(Thoughts Speech)
Quinn looked around at the high walls of the place he had found himself in, the pines the clung to the walls looking like fur on two giant beasts that encircled the valley, the wind that howled over it in the coming winter season chilled him as it sounded like the screams of ghostly beings, shaking the trees and giving the whole valley a slightly eerie touch. However, it was impossible to ignore the striking beauty of the place, the walls made it feel secure, and the fresh air brought by the wind was most definitely a good thing, but it was confined, and that meant if something bad happened that they would be stuck here if they did decide to make it their home.
Quinn had come here, navigating his was through the northern opening in the gorge in hopes of finding a place to stay, but it clearly had it's flaws, and he figured it best to mull things over with his family before he made a decision, after all, they would have to live there as well and something told the tawny man that his big brother would be very unsettled by the constant screaming of the wind.
After a few minutes of careful travel, he made it to the bottom of the gorge, and almost immediately realized that the wind was ever worse down here, it howled even louder than before, and the shrubbery that surrounded him seemed to be permanently pushed in a single direction by the blast. He grimaced for a moment and then walked a bit further, looking around for redeeming qualities, hoping that something would make him willing to forgive the sounds.
Almost immediately, he found it, as his paws pressed the ground, mashing it down, he felt it give in a deliciously perfect way. He smiled and gasped at the feeling, clawing at the soil and pulling it up, so that he could smell the loam that he had pulled up. As he bent down, his tail twitching with happiness at his new find, he inhaled deeply, and in went the beautiful strong aroma. The smell of bugs, decomposed plant life, pine needles clay and sand mixed together, all in a soil that was perfect for growing. The smell was so nice, it had been too long since he had been somewhere that he could feel the soil, and even longer since it was suitable for growing.
He bounced a little and said outloud to himself "Wait till I show them this!" and the turned to look around, trying to find a place where they might make their home, hoping that he could convince them to do so.
