Paradise Falls On The Hunt

For @Riven

Miriam had been diligent in preparing for her next scouting mission, and it had brought her to the stoop of the den that house the strong scent of herbs. She'd sit outside, her eyes peering inside to see if she could detect movement before she called out to the very wolf she was looking for. "Riv? You here?" She'd call for the older man in hopes that he'd make his presence known to her.

She had not forgotten their earlier conversation about her searching for herbs while she was out on her travels. In order to find what he needed, she'd need to know when she was looking for, and she was intending to head out at nightfall. That meant she'd need to learn what she was looking for now or wait for the next trip... and learning now felt more productive. "I've come to ask you what you need me to look for! I'm about to go scouting for a few days." It was a bit of a longer trip, and the first one she'd taken since the pups were born.

It wasn't like him to take naps in the middle of the day like this, but he supposed he had been fairly busy recently. He perked up at the sound of his name and tried not to look like he'd just been dozing, which may or may not have been successful.

"Hi, Miriam." A smile formed on his maw automatically when he realized who was calling for him. Miriam was a welcome presence - he'd been immediately endeared to the girl on their first meeting, her kindness and good nature undeniable.

A scouting trip. She'd mentioned wanting to become one - they were both working toward their respective roles, it seemed, and she was kind enough to remember his request. "That depends on where you're heading," he said. "Do you have anywhere specific in mind?" He wouldn't request plants too far out of her way, if he could help it.
