heart and head

Mercury was making his rounds through the sparse pines when Sol alerted suddenly in the trees above him. He stilled, listening to the threat, and finding none. But his companion bird was relentless, shaking her feathers and glaring daggers at him to ensure he paid close attention. Doing exactly that, he followed as she leaped from the tree branch and glided further through the trees.

The foxes raced after her, and Mercury followed at a slightly slower pace, more cautious until he understood what Solar had seen. He found Wren then, as Solar found another branch to nest in above her. The foxes kept running, straight for the crying girl. Iris nudged her way under her chest and licked her chin as Merc arrived and enveloped his beloved Alpha into a hug. “Talk to me, Wren. Tell me what's going on” He whispered softly.
