Fern had taken care to make sure her work area is comfortable, laying out a plush bear pelt on the grass that she had then laid the ropes and growing pile of ivy on. It is comfortable to sit on and, if she has to be there for a long time, it will be much better for her hips. Pale paws maneuver a length of the braided rope, working to stretch it out so she can see exactly how long it is. Mouth pulls into a small frown as she thinks, trying to guesstimate how much ivy she will need and how she will work it around. A sound catches Fern’s ear and she turns to see Latea padding slowly toward her. With a huge smile on her face and tail wagging happily behind her, the gray girl says, “Latea! It is lovely to see you too. Enjoying the sunshine?” Eyes flick over to the woman’s companion and Fern gives the dapper badger a wink. He reminds the wolf so much of herself. Worrying about those he loves, wanting to keep them safe… she offers Mel a smile before turning back to her project and Latea. The monochrome woman offers her and Mel’s assistance which Fern exuberantly accepts, saying, “I would love some help! I went to make the ropes pretty and I thought wrapping them in ivy might help. But, uh, I’m having some logistical issues.” She gives the older wolf a sheepish smile as she admits, “I never learned how to braid things.” At that moment, Puff runs up from her ivy gathering duties, a red rose clutched between her small teeth. Moving quickly, she comes to a stop in front of Latea and stands on her hind legs, taking the flower from her mouth and stretching her arms up to present to her friend while saying, “Hi Latea! This flower reminds me of you! Want to keep it?” Wide eyes watch the monochrome wolf hopefully as Fern smiles to herself and makes room for Latea and Mel to join her on the bear pelt.
