Quaking Vale A Many Splendored Thing

The act of hunting had not really interested the boy yet. He was far more content exploring the Vale and attempting to distance himself from all the obnoxious orange leaves. The boy knew that it was a skill he would have to learn eventually, especially if he wanted to provide for the pack like his parents did, but it could wait. As the agouti spoke Sachiel nodded gently in response to show that he liked the idea. Eating was definitely important—especially when it involved adventuring. He couldn’t be starving as he explored the pines beyond the vale. “Mmm’kay,” he mumbled in response, his black-tipped tail swaying gently behind him. Hunting was not something he could avoid learning, otherwise he would be deemed useless and most likely thrown from the pack. And, despite all the orange, Sachiel was quite fond of the place.

A yawn tugged at his lips, causing his eyes to water and his brows to furrow. They had already done quite a lot of walking; his legs were starting to grow tried along with the rest of his body. “‘Ome now?” He asked, his head tipping to the side as his denim gaze fell to the russet wolf. Surely the newcomer had grown weary as well, for he had mentioned that his health was not where it should be.

More and more Tikhon wanted to be recovered from the winter already. He needed to find Lorcan or at least try and he couldn't do that without his strength back. Then there was Sachiel, he wanted to take him to see the pines and teach him about hunting. He never thought he would actually like the idea of teaching a pup to hunt. The dark agouti liked Sachiel though and wanted to help whether it was hunting or exploring. What was even better was that the boy seemed open to the idea of learning and perhaps he would get better on their trip. The Artemieva had to keep telling himself that it would be soon enough they would set out. They couldn't be gone long but it would be long enough that they could do some hunting and see some pine trees.

The dark agouti was not surprised by the yawn that escaped the child. He too was feeling a little tired and felt it might be time to head back. “Yes, I think we should go get some rest,” he agreed with a nod. They could save further explanation of the rocks for another time. It wasn't good to uncover everything in one day. “Come on Sachiel,” he said with a light chuckle. “Let's get you home before you fall asleep on your feet.” He gave a small nudge before heading in the direction they had come.

Perhaps it was a good thing Sachiel had to wait to see the pine trees. His paws were already sore and his legs ached due to being overworked. He had already walked sooo much today he did not know if he would be able to go any further. Even the walk back to the dens was a bit of a stretch, but he was determined. Determined to show the older agouti that he would be a worthy adventure partner once his health returned.

Another yawn tugged at his lips as the golden-eyed male agreed that it was time for them to return home. Normally the boy would have protested, but he had been the one to suggest returning, for his body began to sway with exhaustion. Abandoning the rocks before him the boy turned around and started in the direction they had come from, his ears pinned froward as his brows lowered with determination. “You too!” He chirped back in response, offering the older male a soft grin over his shoulder as he tried to adopt a quicker pace. A nap was sounding reaaaal good right about now…

In good time he would take the boy to see the pine trees and show him some hunting skills that he had picked up. He was looking forward to that day and hoped it would come sooner rather than later. This however wasn't that day, he still had ways to go before he would he ready. A lot of weight to gain back as well as his strength. He couldn't put Sachiel in danger on their journey by not being in top shape. The time would also give his little companion time to get a little more experience as well.

When Sachiel spoke of going home Tikhon agreed as he was starting to feel a little weary himself. They had traveled far from their starting point and would have a ways to get back. The dark agouti followed as the boy headed into the direction of home. “I just might,” he joked for he wasn't as steady on his limbs as he would be if he wasn't weakened. He would return the child to the communal den where they both could rest a while. He was glad to have made a new friend in the boy that day.
