Peace would reign over him as the two would relax in the newly forming shade of spring. Birds would sing overhead, for joy or alarm he was not sure. He could forget about his punishment for the day, and enjoy his free time with Novella. She would confess not having done much during the daylight hours, sure that he had been much busier than herself. Had he known what had been occupying her time he might have gone off to find her instead of coming to his den. However she would easily shy away from his question, "I'm not sure right now." His ears would lower slightly as his gaze would leave her to look at his fidgeting paws, "Well, ah, if you don't have any plans I was wondering if you'd like to go exploring with me." Truth be told with his hunting he was becoming incredibly familiar with the lay of the land. He'd even found a few hard to reach places while chasing prey, maybe some that Novella didn't even know about.
