Family time is the best time

Ezra glanced toward his cousin as they walked out toward the wildberry grove with her jackals and his dog trailing behind them, giving her a friendly grin. "Thanks for coming to patrol with me. Patrolling always goes faster when it's done with company." Most of the time he was comfortable doing his patrols or hunts on his own, but every once in a while he just got tired of the same routine and it was nice to break it up a bit with some company. "Usually the patrols are pretty calm, but the grove does have bears to deal with from time to time. Apparently the temptation of berries is worth testing the wolves for," he mentioned with a chuckle. "Hopefully they'll all be asleep since it's winter, but sometimes they'll come down from Boreas since it's so close to the top edge of the continent."

The crunch of their collective paws through the light layer of Auster snow filled the air as they went, crossing over into the patchy shade of the grove's trees from the plains. Most of the leaves were gone with just a few patches of lingering yellow and brown leaves here and there. Most of the berry bushes had gone dormant as well with just the evergreen, red-berried plants standing out in stark contrast with the otherwise bland landscape. He started following the border of the territory, leading the way around the well worn and familiar path. "How are you liking The Hallows so far?" he asked conversationally, shifting his gaze occasionally between Memento and the path ahead of them.
