White Fir Notch mellow thrills

He couldn't help but smile at the pride Hawthorne had in her stick and he couldn't help but encourage it. Since she was still too young to go out hunting or patrolling she needed to have praise and know she did a good job in other areas. Knowing she'd done will in picking out s food stick could help her in the future because the care she used there could be used in hunting and picking out her prey. He'd had a good mother who’d done such things with him and now he could pass that to his children and Hawthorne.

He had told her that they were coming up to some food trees and not surprisingly she had run ahead to go and look for a prize for him. He felt rather honored that she would want to get him a prize too. While chewing on sticks wasn't something he could regularly be found doing he would not turn down a offer and gift such as that from her, she would be so crestfallen if he didn't he didn't want to do that to her. So he followed behind her and in no time he'd caught up.

The problem was he'd lost sight of her so didn't know where she had disappeared off to. Emrys searched here and there until he finally gave up when he didn't find her. “Hawthorne where have you disappeared to now. I know you're here, I can smell you.” And he could, her scent was strong so he followed it to the place where she'd disappeared into the foliage, “You're in there aren't you?”

Hawthorne Riverflow

The lovesong of the buzzard in the dogwood tree

In her chewing on the branch in an to break it free for Emrys, she heard his voice. The young girl ceased her chewing as a smile broke across her face. This could be the start of a game of hide and seek! Quickly she tried to hulk herself up onto the branch as Emrys' paw steps grew louder. Hawthorne knew he would be able to find her because usually the adults always found her. That didn't ever deter her from trying, though!

She wasn't strong enough to get onto the branch by the time the pale leader's voice called out to her. As much as she wished to stay silent and hidden from view, her masked face popped out and she gave a small giggle. Hawthorne jumped up with her neck stretched out in order to place a few licks to Emrys' ivory chin. "Founds prize!" Her tail wiggled behind her underneath the fir tree. The young Riverflow ducked back in to continue her chewing but now that a bigger wolf was nearby she wondered if there may be a quicker way to do it...

Her head popped back out, tilted to the side. "Help me gets?" She asked her larger friend.

He had finally caught up to her as she searched for the prize she wanted to get for him. When he reached the trees that he'd pointed out to her she wasn't insight. So he called out for her hoping that she might pop out from wherever she was hiding. He didn't have any luck with that at first as he padded across the ground his nose reached out to search the air for her scent which he soon caught. However he didn't not pick out the place it was originating from immediately. “Where could Hawthorne have disappeared to?” he said to himself but loud enough for the pup to hear.

Only a few moments later he heard her giggle before he turned and saw her little face poking out from her hiding place. He chuckled as she came to him and licked his chin. He placed a lick on her crown as she told him about finding a prize, “Did you? You will have to show me. I'm sure I will love it.” He told her just before she disappeared into where she had appeared from. Emrys followed before stopping to see how he would fit into the area she had.

He must have taken too long as she popped her head back out to ask for help. He smiled, “Of course let's just see what we have going on,” he said as he lowered himself and crawled into the space with her to examine the situation. “Chewing seems a good option,” he stated giving the pup a nudge on the cheek, “What do you think?”

poetic justice

Hawthorne Riverflow

It was hard to not call out "Here!" to her friend but she managed well by biting her tongue and playing the little game properly.

Her tail wiggled eagerly behind her. Oh, she just knew he would love it! She had selected it just for him from one of the best trees around. If he didn't love it? Well, it was easy to say that the young Riverflow girl would not be exactly happy with his feelings. Friend or not. Perhaps she'd even throw a bit of a fit but just maybe. Tantrums were a lot of work and rather exhausting too. She tried to save them for those extra bad times. Like no more playtime or having to go to sleep.

"Yeah!" She chirped back eagerly. Chewing was an amazing option. "You chew? You gots bigger teeth." Hawthorne then attempted to use her nose to pull up his lips just to prove just how big Emrys' teeth were - in comparison to her own growing chompers. Maybe he would be able to just bite through the branch! He was big and strong like mama or Jynx. Hawthorne had full faith in the pale leader's abilities. Perhaps too much faith.

Wide puppy eyes then expectedly looked towards his bright blue eyes. Well?

Emrys pretended to look here and there for little Hawthorne to keep their little game going. He even called out for her a few more times but she did well in not letting him know where she was.

Then with a giggle and the appearance of her head he found her which ended the game. He then followed her into her hiding place. She had found the prize she was looking for for him but she needed a little help. Emrys was more than happy to provide the help she needed and was sure to consult her on the best way to go about it. Chewing, she agreed with that because he had bigger teeth. The pale leader chuckled once more as she used her nose to lift his lip exposing his teeth. “You'll have teeth as big as mine one day Hawthorne,” he assured before giving her a lick on the cheek.

He then looked back to the prize she had picked out for him and offered her a smile, “It's a perfect prize for me,” he told. He could also see why she was having so much trouble as it was a somewhat thick branch that she had chosen. Which was good for a wolf of his size to chew on. Now the task was to separate it from where it was attached.

Looking over to her he saw the look in her face, “What do you say we get started?” He asked before beginning to chew the branch away from the rest of the plant.

this is pretty old so im thinking we could wrap it up soon? just a fade of them doing whatever in your next post?

Hawthorne watched him chew away at the branch. She wasn't surprised that he would make more progress on it than her. He did, like she pointed out earlier, have bigger teeth than her. The young girl was pleased really. Not only had she picked a good branch out for the pale leader, she also figured out a good way to obtain the branch. She wasn't sure if that was really how gifts worked but she figured that him doing the work to get it would have likely been the only way for it to be gifted.

She crawled out from the tree's foliage to be freed from the tight space. The young Riverflow would do her best to wait patiently for Emrys to finish up what she had started. They still had plenty to do after this! Weren't they supposed to be doing one of those patrol things? If so it seemed they had gotten very sidetracked. Which Hawthorne could certainly take the blame for.

Standing up she then crouched down low to the ground, peering to see how far along the pale male had gotten with the branch. Couldn't be too much longer now, could it? Hawthorne didn't think the stick she picked was that big.

Faded and archived

The pale leader set to work chewing the branch away from the rest of the bush. He did have to admit that it was a rather nice one that Hawthorne had picked out. He would place it in the den he shared with Jynx for safe keeping and it would be close by for those rare times he did have the chance to chew on it. He did have to admit as he worked away at the branch that Hawthorne was a clever girl getting him to do all of the work but he didn't mind. The young Riverflow had become like a daughter to him and like his own daughter he would do anything for her.

His little companion slipped out of the tight space as he was getting to the end if his task. He couldn't really blame her as he was getting a little cramped in there too. He was determined to free the branch and within a few more moments he heard a small crack before he felt the branch fall free. Picking it up between his teeth he slipped out and found Hawthorne waiting for him. “I got it,” he told her, “And when we get back I am going to put it in a safe place. It's a very good prize Hawthorne, thank you?” He told her giving her crown a lick.

He then looked up at the sky before looking back to the pup, <b “We should get back to our original plans before we lose the light,”</b> he told with a smile before picking up his chewing stick. With a indication to follow he led the pup off to do their patrol before it became too dark for them to be out.
