From Time to Time

When she saw him smile Loccian felt a bit better, for a moment after speaking she thought that he would possibly get annoyed or upset by her comment about going to the southern forest so that people didn't get the wrong idea. He seemed fine though, agreeing with her. That was good, it made her shy smile remain there. She knew rumors would spread eventually, it was inevitable if they were to den together for some time. Somebody was going to either catch them leaving the den together or be around enough to see them leave separately, well, if that was the case then they would just think he was treating him with herbs. It would be once they started denning for a few days or weeks, his scent would cling to her coat, hers would cling to his, people would start putting the pieces together. She was fine with that, perhaps when that time come they would be able to explain their situation. Yes...

When she had suggested the southern forest, looking away from the clearing Gerhardt agreed. That was good. It was a nice little distance from the main dens but close enough to the lake so they didn't have to walk far. The trees would offer protection from pack members which was nice but it would protect them from the elements, snow, ice, sleet, harsh winds, rain, etc. Seemed like a good area to look around, and what made her feel a little better was knowing she would be able to listen to the animals hidden within there, wake up to the birds chirping and just more peaceful than she would if she stayed in the barn.

After his stretch the grey shewolf followed right behind him, tail waving behind her, a steady pace but slowly coming up along side him, staying back a bit so she didn't pass him up. Before she knew it the trees were before her, head lifted, grey orbs scanning the massive plants. She had always found trees among many things interesting, how they could go from tiny plants to such massive things, how they managed to survive in order to grow. Loccian lowered her gaze, noticing the long shadows created from the sun's new angle. Dark would be upon them in no time so they would need to hurry.

Ears perked up when Gerhardt spoke, turning her head to meet his gaze as he explained they would need something of decent size. Yes, definitely seeing how he was almost a foot larger than she was. Funny, she never really paid much attention to his height before, but now that she looked at him she was realized how small she was. Was Gerhardt an average sized man? It made her feel tiny. Clearing her throat, pushing those thoughts aside she refocused on his voice, now talking about how it should be in a thick enough part of the forest to conceal their whereabouts, she nodded. He suggested a fox den, it would be nice but they would need to dig out. With a tilt of her head Loccian thought about this, a fox den would be good, and they could di out more for them to fit. Well, Loccian was quite small, as she just realized, and he was a bit bigger so most of the den he would take up which she didn't mind. Too much space could be an issue, their body heat would linger on their own sides, so if they were a little closer they could share their heat for when colder weather came along.

?I think that sounds good, it only needs to be big enough for you to move around since I don't take up much space.? She said with a light chuckle, walking passed him and hopping up onto a lone rock., eyes looking for a direction she could lead them towards. ?Hm... this way.? She spoke softly, hopping down and moving deeper into the little forest, tail slowly wagging behind her. The woman was already liking this for some reason, it felt nice doing something not involving her health or sanity, not having to think about what has been going on.
