They found themselves once again in the trail back to Song's den, the hopeful look on her face giving away that she was excited about seeing her children. She would be hopeful, but she was certainly doubting that the rest of them would be back by the time she and Novella returned. Their fishing trip had been rather quick in comparison to a normal hunt, silently she would wonder about a pack hunt. The thoughts were pushed aside, today was for family.
The den was obviously still deserted, "I guess we have to wait a little longer then." Song's face would have fallen a bit more noticeably had she not had a mouth full of fish. Ivory paws brought them gracefully up to the well packed dirt. Her mouth was flushed of the fish, their bodies making light thumping noises as they tumbled onto the earth. Her gaze was brought back to Novella, "Gives us time to eat, if they aren't back by the time we're done with our meal I'll call for them." Her white rump would sink to the ground as she become more relaxed after their journey.
