Together Again

Jakart brushed up against his brothers shoulder and watched as Nako sniffed and scented for a trace of their father. The snow felt cool between his paws as the younger pup looked around at the forest encompassing their traveling group. A slight parting of his maw was given as he smiled and looked up at the tree, the various frozen moss's and lichens sparkling in the given light. Rushing water was heard at a certain point as he swiveled his ears, a yip given as he noticed that Nako was leaving him behind. Anais was already darting ahead, a few moments passing of the youngest wolf trying to catch up to his brother and sister. The chase halted by the river and he let out a bark in glee at finishing the non-verbalized race.

Anais went into the hole and a growl was heard, Jakart pinning his ears against his head as he shrank back behind his brother. A feather of Nako's caught his eye and the pup gazed at the little wisps coming off the molted bird fur. Their mom stood at the opening of the hole and Jakart couldn't help but feel a little hungry. Gone were the days where he could sneak up to his mom and nurse, the pup now wanting bloody, tender meat to fill his belly. A toss of his head was given and Jakart sniffed at Nako's feather, giving an amused giggle at the way it tickled his nose. Today was going to be a fun day as a family.
