Grizzly Hollow Heaven and Earth

All welcome but specifically for @Piety

His mouth held a rabbit firmly between sharp teeth. The dark wolf felt like flicking it into the air and playing with the thing mostly because this was the first rabbit he had been able to catch since he was a young yearling and much lighter in weight. Nowadays the Thorben was too big and heavy to actually catch rabbits. Usually they were able to outrun him and get to a hole before he even had the chance to catch up. So Titan had surprised himself today by catching this fat old rabbit, but a rabbit nonetheless. Now he was heading back to the den to deposit his prize.

The den was hidden by underbrush, but there was a clear area just in front of it where the wolves would come around to visit. This place had been the very den @Rook had carefully scooped out of the earth for his parents and Quil. Titan had never ventured fully inside it. He was too concerned about stepping on someone inside or bothering those who normally frequented the den. The dark wolf had scented a pup around but as of yet he hadn't gotten the chance to actually meet the kid. If the little guy or his mother was around The Thorben was sure that somebody would be hungry enough to eat his beautiful old fat rabbit. Once he skirted the entrance of the den Titan set the rabbit down. His shiny black nose wiggled and sniffed trying to determine when the last wolf had passed by the den. Then the black males head comes up to sniff at the air. His current pose was rather regal; standing at full height with rippling muscles, long limbs, and battle scars adorning those front legs.

He stiffened the turned to look to his left. The scent of a she wolf was getting more fresh, but right this moment he wasn't sure if the woman was passing by or if she was approaching the den. He lowered his head and nose sniffing at the air intently before nudging the rabbit into the empty den. He was much more interested in learning of a new pack mate than eating right this moment. Especially when this new pack mate was a female who smelled kinda familiar.

I assume you mean the birthing den? I can change this if I'm wrong c:

It had been about a month since his dad had explained that he was the leader of Grizzly Hollow now. Tomen, whose world had largely been his den of birth and his parents, hadn't fully understood the concept at first; as far as he was concerned, his dad had been the boss all along. Over the next few weeks, though, as he continued to mature and comprehend more of the adult side of things, he had begun to realise what it meant. Borden was his grandfather, and he had stepped down to let Tomen's dad take his place. Tomen had never really met the old leader - confined to his den (and not unhappily, for the world of that warm space and the trees immediately beyond it was a wondrous place) the young Attaya-Lyall hadn't really integrated himself much with the rest of the pack.

Now his dad was the boss, though, perhaps it was a good idea to mingle more? And maybe to help out where he could. There had to be some perks and responsibilities to being the boss's son.

That morning, after his parents had gotten up, given their kisses and made their way out, Tomen had gone as far as the third gnarled Cedarwood before becoming overwhelmed by doubt. Maybe it would be better to start tomorrow, to ask to go with them instead, rather than sneaking off as though he was doing something wrong and sneaky. He didn't want his mother to worry if she came back to check on him, and he was so normally content to enjoy lingering near their den that she might think something had happened.

Hooo, his friend had comforted him, and Tomen had felt reassured. It was true, he wasn't a baby anymore, but that didn't mean it was right to be irresponsible! Sitting beside that third gnarled tree, he had watched the world go by for a time, listening to the familiar hoots and coos of the bird which had lived beside their den ever since he could remember.

The sound of movement back in the direction of the den caught his attention very easily, and Tomen glanced back, expecting to see his mother or maybe father - but while the fur was dark, he instantly knew it was someone else. Maybe he would be able to fulfil his original goals after all! Ears pushing forward in curiosity (for the scent in the air was thick with Hollow wolves, and he knew the dark man to be one of them) he trotted back, calm in manner. Eyeing the rabbit as it was dropped by the den's entrance, he took a moment to observe the large black male, and tried to place a name to the face. Titan, maybe?

"Is that for me?" he asked, casually, as a means to draw attention to himself if the other hadn't noticed him yet. He knew it probably wasn't, but hey - there were perks to being the boss's son. In the tree above him, a small owl hopped onto one of the upper branches, peering down at the scene curiously.
