They were expanding to the nearby willows. A place that would bode well for the pack once they laid their claim. He had no idea who Enki was considering he had only recently returned home, but he would do what was requested, but only because the guy was of higher rank than him. The Grim Shadow stalked along with the group, crimson gaze darting every which way as he took in the sight of the willows, deciding where it was he wanted to explore first. He waited impatiently for Enki to release them to start investigating, and as soon as they were allowed, he skittered off to the other side of the pond.
He sniffed around the edge of the pond first, noting the different plants that grew along its edges, creeping along the ground, the cattails that leaned over the water. The sound of ducks, doves, and crickets and frogs could be heard. The occasional dull splash of a fish retreating to deeper water. Turning away from it, he spotted what looked like a hollowed out space at the base of one willow, and as he investigated it, it seemed like it had been dug out by some other animal. Hmmm....new dens, perhaps? It seemed like whatever used to occupy it, hadn't been here in some time. The only scent left behind was earthy and musty. Laughing, he slipped back out and made his way back to Enki, fur bristling with excitement at the discovery.
