Life within the shade of the bamboo was pretty alright if you asked Tachi. There was leaf litter everywhere though, crunching beneath his paws as he went about his daily business, made it really hard to sneak about. To not perk the ears of his family and pack mates. More than that it seemed as though monkeys had wondered their way through these parts too, made a right mess as they went and left it for the wolves of Tojo to clean up. And someone better do it soon as well, lest the Kaicho notice and start getting all squinty and serious.
As luck would have it, one of his big brothers seemed to have a similar line of thought as Tachi noticed him through the trees, looking about as though he was working out where to start. What needed doing first. Quick to join his side, the leggy pup gave his sibling a shoulder bump before he got to work. For starters he'd try and brush some of the leaf litter out of the way, smush it into a pile so they could burn it later. That'd be fun, he always liked sitting around the fire with his family, sharing stories and good food.
Grabbing a stick with a tuft of leaves on the end he began to swish it back and forth, shooing the leaves to the side. Bits of fruits and nuts were scattered amongst the leaves too, making it look as though the monkeys had dropped bits and pieces as they left. Made as much of a mess as possible. Annoying. Maybe he'd have to catch one and give it a taste of its own medicine. Till then there was a lot of work to do, maybe too much for just two wolves. But oh well, it'd be done!
