Mortis watched, maw twitching in delighted amusement as she started to wake, rubbing sleep from her eyes. He knew the moment his words penetrated through her sleepy haze. Her eyes snapped open, and she looked startled and excited at the same time. Laughing silently he raised a paw, holding it over his muzzle. “Shhhhh” He reminded her in a whisper. Glancing across the sleeping bodies. But it seems they would be getting away scotch free.
As she jumped up to place a paw against his cheek, he lowered his head, and kissed her paw affectionately. He didn’t speak again until they were outside the den. “What would you like to do, Ursa? Do you want to go to the top of First Light Point? Or further into the woods to see if we can find some nocturnal prey?”
