It was vespertide when Florence set out towards his destination, the lone cherry tree on the hill he had spotted as Fly had taken him and @Vera to their new home. Florence was curious about the tree. It looked like the only one of its kind in the area and as he drew closer, he could scent the sweet smelling berries that littered the ground below it. So it was a fruit producing tree? He thought to himself as he bent down to inspect the berries. There were only a few on the ground, half decomposed but Florence knew not to eat them regardless, as he had no idea if they were poisonous or not. He also knew that he didn't have long to stay at the tree as his attention was drawn to the sky, the tell tale signs of a snowstorm brewing.
But staying for a short while, now that wouldn't hurt. He told himself silently. He was happy to be in Black Thorn Downs and to have friends like Fly within the group but without Vera, Florence didn't feel like socialising all too much. He just hoped no one within the pack minded that he hung on the edges, unless Fly or Vera were involved.
Settiling amongst the roots of the tree, Florence over looked the field below and tried to imagine what it would be like in the Spring, all green and the air filled with the sweetness that seemed to float on spring air.
His heart lurched at the thought of what else could happen in Spring and a flush settled under his fur as he thought of Vera. They had been together for some time now and though they weren't anything official yet, Florence had been debating lately whether or not he should talk to Vera about becoming true mates this coming Spring. They wouldn't have pups, oh no, he didn't feel ready for them yet. And he'd probably have speak to their leaders first, to see if it was alright with them.
But he wanted Vera to be his and him to be hers. They were so close, a few wolves had already thought them mates. Florence sighed heavily as the thoughts flew around his mind, settling his head between his paws. He wanted to talk to someone about it, to voice his thoughts before going through with them. He couldn't talk to Vera about them and Fly, well he wasn't sure what she would say.
