From Time to Time

It seemed a bit odd for Loccian to be leading the way I search of a den. It was something she just didn't do or have in her, being a leader. For most of her life the woman had been a follower, doing as others told her, not really stepping up and taking action. Perhaps it was being in Seracia, the kingdom changing her in a good way. She wouldn't be the quiet loner, she was stepping up and making her name known, rising in ranks without even realizing it. It made her feel good, to know this was going on even though her mind was mostly troubled by not so good events popping up here and there. To be happy, would she need to do this more? Come out of her shell?

She shook her head, getting rid of those thoughts. Loccian needed to focus on this den search, wanted to keep herself distracted. It had been working so far, keeping her in a decent mood, liking it. Paws moved delicately over the earth, a leaf crunching every now and then, grey orbs scanning the place for an abandoned den. Gerhardt has spoke up, causing her to come to a stop, turning to him to catch his voice. He brought up making another den, not tonight, to store her herbs. For a moment she was shocked, not because he was thinking about that but because she didn't. Loccian was just thinking about looking for a den for them, it didn't cross her mind once that she needed a place for her herbs. ?Uh... yes, of course. She nodded, turning around and continuing on. She would probably dig it herself, knowing the conditions each herb needed to stay fresh a little longer than normal. Some needed a moist area, others open.

What seemed like hours was only ten to twenty minutes of searching before she finally came to a stop. Her nose twitched, sniffing a patch of vegetation near a decently large tree. She could catch the faint scent of a fox, definitely old. ?I think I found something.? She raised her voice for Gerhardt to hear, raising her head and taking a step back so he could come check it out. It would really depend on him now, he could see if it was big enough for himself and if it was then they just needed to dig a little bit so there was room for her. ?Without a fox coming in and out the vegetation has grown around it, perhaps we could use it to cover the hole if we decided to keep this.? She suggested to him, tail flicking behind her, waiting for him to check it out and voice his thoughts on the first den.

By now the sun had been at a lower position than before, and not that thy were in the forest it was getting dark. Rays of sunlight broke through the canopy here and there, offering enough light to see what they were doing but within a couple minutes to an hour she was sure it would be gone, the moon rising to take over.
