The soft, pale creature busied herself with tending to her garden plot. She'd collected a spare few things to plant within it already. From her list, she moved to her den and returned moments later with a clump of lamb's ear that had was still wet at the roots. It had been sitting on a damp hide, allowing the roots to heal from any trauma they'd received from being dug free from the ground, but also staying moist. This clump had come from the other side of the Plains, in a spot that Halo would guess remained in full sun most of the day. With that assumption, she moved to plant it at the farthest corner of the plot, where the sun would hit reliably. With careful paws, she dug a small hole in the loose soil before tucking the plant into its new home. It was as Halo moved to retreat for the second lamb's ear bundle from her den that she caught a rustling close by. She paused, head coming up. Without realizing it, her pulse was pounding in her chest again-- all she could think of was the panther from her first day. Nerves spiked, the tender hearted creature held her breath as she listened for more noise. "Hello?" The call was meek, her eyes wide. If it was another predator, she wouldn't be able to run. No, Halo would need to fight. That, and she'd call out for Sirius or Mortis-- they'd help, right? But they were probably busy... oh no. Her gaze fixed on a clump of sticks and mud where the sound had originated, looking cautiously for the shine of crystals or the reflection of eyes. |
