Garth had missed her, more than words could describe. Even though he was sharing a den with her and Arivae, he missed her in more ways than one. Luckily, Garth was able to spend more time with her by himself one fine afternoon. Dhiren had volunteered to take Arivae with him on his patrols, encouraging his little sister to meet other members of the pack. The large male was not sure how he would handle this free time, so he thought it out and decided to do what every woman wanted done by their man: clean. The rain had stopped for a bit, but the winds and thunder remained present. Garth didn't think about them as he moved around the den with a pine tree branch in his mouth. Large head moved back and forth as he swept unnecessary dirt and grime from the farthest corners of the den. Before he pushed out the neat dirt pile, he brushed off his dirty paws to ensure cleanliness for their home. As soon as he pushed the pile outside, it swept up in the wind and disappeared to another part of Sawtooth. A smile was on his face as he looked around the den. It appeared to be brighter, but there was still so much to do! Speech Table by Lu

Her mind was very much occupied with the thoughts of her daughter and the new children that would soon find their way into the world. She had doubled her patrols, leaving less and less time with her daughter and her father. She tried to take Arivae on trips around the perimeters, but recently she just didn?t feel like it was safe. That monster was still on the loose, and she was not about to let him touch another of her family. She?d find her way back to the den now, after having done her perimeter check and taken a hunting trip. She was unsuccessful in the hunt, but a fatigue had already taken over her. As her pale paws brought her to see Garthinaw at the entrance of the den a smile would form on her face. She?d push herself into the entrance, her form coming up on Garth?s left side. She?d nuzzle into his neck and notice how clean the den seemed. Taking in his scent she?d sigh contentedly, her worries were many but they seemed less extreme with him beside her. ?Hey, you.? Speech

Garthinaw

The form of his beloved appeared earlier than he had anticipated. Nevertheless, he was excited to see her small, white frame arrive. Love that hadn't been expressed in a good while shined in his eyes as he quickly lowered the pine branch to nuzzle her in turn. He noticed the invisible stress that seemingly weighed upon her shoulders. Words about it didn't come, but others did.
"Song..." he softly cooed, large muzzle meeting her ivory neck with his eyes closed. A tender smile broke out across his lips, encouraging him to nuzzle her more. He ran the top of his cranium across the back of her neck before pulling back to look at her. "Welcome home..." he greeted, rising his head up and over to look at the cleaner scene in front of them. "I hope it's all right. You caught me in the middle of doing some handiwork..."

She could see the gentle love within Garthinaw?s eyes, easily she?d pick up on how much he cared for her. She?d find herself trying to smile a little brighter, to forget the woes that plagued her mind. Still the sound of her voice on his tongue was enough to settle her down. A sigh would flow from her own lips as she moved to embrace him, feeling as he surrounded her in a comforting embrace. He?d release her and welcome her back to the den they shared, it was obvious he?d been tidying up and she had to say that it looked better than she?d ever cleaned it. There was a lot that Song was, but clean and tidy was not really one of the better ones. She was obviously amazed at his skill. ?It looks rather marvelous in here.? Her lips would turn more into a relaxed smile. She?d start to let herself forget, at least for the moment, the worries of the pack that rested on her shoulders. The small she wolf would lean into Garthinaw?s side, letting him support her weight. Speech,
