downfall of us all

Nako stared down at the bottom of the bare hill, his jaw clenching around the object he held in his maw. The half dozen feathers woven into his neck and head fur trailed out passed into his field of vision for a moment only to settle against the grey pups neck fur. Another glance was given around to see if Tahlia was going to sneak up and take him back to the den before the object was tossed into the air and began to roll down the hill. With an excited yip Nako took off after the pinecone to practice chasing a mouse that kept swerving about as the pinecone's top and bottom caught edges to tumbled this way and that. With a spring upwards and both of his forepaws coming down together Nako crushed the mock rodent into the snow.

The bastard pup gave an aroo with a toss of his head and picked up with prize that he'd imagine would lay twitching for him to savor. Miss-matched eyes noticed his surrounding now as he looked around to get his bearings towards home, the forest with the carved up trees. Nako dropped the pinecone and took to going towards the scent of water and fish bones, the chase making him end up on the other side of the lakes thin forest. It was passed through in a moment, Nako closing his eyes and savoring the winter gust of wind before opening them to see a packmate laying in the snow. A involuntary whine was given by the pup as he began to warily pace around this foreign female. Nako gave a nervous aroo with slight opening of his maw to let her know that he was there so he wouldn't startle the white female.
