Aye aye you got it! Tokino chuckled. Perhaps that one had been way too easy for her. Now it's your turn little miss. The gray man looked forward at the tree he'd spied for his turn. The downward arching branches almost touching the ground at their tips. It was an old gnarled bumpy green ash tree that had caught the males attention a few minutes ago.

Glancing downwards Kino held a warm smile on his face as he noticed the girls eyes light up with her tail wagging excitedly behind her. She seemed so happy to have gotten the correct answer on the very first try. She's smart this one. Kino looked forward once more waiting for the girl to spy something of her own. His paws thumped noiselessly over the earth as the pair of canines traveled farther away from the mixed forest. More willows began to pop into his vision as the gray man led the way.

It's going to be a long way back. Probably a long day for me too.. Tokino sighed quietly to himself. He wondered what the reactions of his pack mates would be. The naive youngsters who ruled the meadows. Kino knew that they wouldn't kill the child or leave her for dead, but would the fledgling pack do right by her? Find her parents or try to keep her inside Whisper Caverns? Are her parents even looking for her? What a stupid question Tokino.. Of course they are. If they are good honorable parents like Yakova and FlowerFall were. Shaking his head free of his parents images Tokino traveled onward.

The man readied himself for what could be a very drama filled day ahead.
