Trying to help out a friend

 It had taken the man hardly any time at all to locate Callisto's den, talking himself into invading that private space however had taken a while. Since her disappearance he hadn't gone into her den but had come by every once in a while to make sure nothing else had moved in. His frequent visits to the nearly empty space had kept it her den, that is, until Kassander moved their pack's boarders. It had only been a few days ago that the new king had decided to replace the Stone Steppe with the Rock Garden and still Max could picture how furious the young woman would be.

 Silently and slowly Maximous would make his way into the den, once inside he would begin locating Calli's stores. The moment he found them he was reminded of all the time he had spent with her as just about every plant in here was one he taught her about. He would stare at them for several moments before laying the vines, that he brought to bundle up the herbs , on the ground. Carefully the black man would move plant by plant into a pile until the vines would only wrap around enough to tie on top.

 When the man had completed the task of binding the herbs together, he had made three herb bundles. Large enough that he couldn't carry all three in his mouth but small enough to keep from harming the delicate plants. Quietly he would carry them outside along with one remaining vine, of which he would make use of. He would tie one end of the vine to one bundle and the other end to a second bundle. He would slide his head under the vine until he could stand and have both bundles safely off the ground while still being able to carry the third in his mouth.

 Before leaving he would glance back at her den and sigh. She could still live here if she wanted, but for now he would take care of her herbs. Hopefully she wouldn't be furious at him for going into her den and taking her herbs to his den. With those thoughts he headed back to his own den.
