Catch up

When she wasn’t busy learning how to hunt, Dee could be found tagging along with Halo or tending to her gardens. Since Halo was very pregnant, Dee happily took over pulling weeds and cleaning out any pests before the colder weather arrived. Surprisingly, it was coming faster than she had expected. Unused to the lands of Boreas, as Halo called it, Dee tried to adjust without showing any signs of have trouble. Still, there were times when the wind was high or the clouds were heavy, that she would shiver and wish her coat was thicker already.

Keeping busy with the weed pulling, Dee didn’t mind the morning temperatures that day. Mild and decently sunny, she kept count of how many dandelions she had pulled. Putting those in a pile off to the side, she looked up when she heard a familiar voice. A bright smile crossed her face and her tail began to wag excitedly at the sight of Mortis. Quickly abandoning her task, Dee bound over to Mort and reached out to press her cheek against his shoulder for a moment before pulling away.

Taking a few steps back, she sat down and looked up at him. Tilting her head slightly to the left, she gave him a curious look as if to ask what he was doing out here, instead of tending to Halo’s needs.
