Don't fuck it up, now

Kotori was busy all the time now.  He was also enjoying every minute of it.  He was now working to turn his dream and goals into reality.  Kotori dropped a good-sized rock down next to a partially dug hole.  The whole was backed up against a raised patch of land, a decent-sized tree close by to provide shade.  His plan was to have a hole to go into but with rocks forming an arch above the entry.  Kotori imagined needing to make it large, enough so that it would be comfortable for himself, his future mate, and the children they would have.  Someday all of that would be his.

Azure howled and Kotori lifted his head, ears perking up.  Leaving his work Kotori jogged to where Azure was.  The earthen-hued wolf grinned at his older brother, “Azure.  I’d hoped to see you at some point.  We have matters to discuss.” His face was finally healed, for the most part, scars had left their place on his muzzle and neck, ones he was perfectly proud of.  Kotori may have not won the fight but, he had proven his willingness to fight for his land.  In the end, it had become his and he would fight however often necessary to keep it his.  

Kotori apparently hadn’t been the only one in rough fights lately.  He thought of asking about that but would hold off till the main reason for his visit had been dealt with.  Azure doesn’t go around visiting to socialize, so this was a matter of business. “You are welcome on my land.  What’s the occasion for your visit?”
