The male had left the borders briefly. He couldn't be further than a few yards. He kept a hidden cache out here with a fox skull he kept from a strange encounter and usually a rabbit. Truth be told he knew it was a little silly but he didn't want someone taking his little trinket. Kerberos just wanted to go check up on it and then he'd be back to pack duties.
He approached the hidden cache and instantly realized something was wrong. There were prints in the snow. Out of panic, he quickly ran to the cache and dug up the skull. He left a half frozen rabbit in there. He was glad that no one had taken the skull but he still felt worried. Someone now knew about his trinket. Worried he laid down on top of the cache with the skull in his jaws. His pale yellow eyes glanced around to see who was nearby. If the prints were till here that must have meant the intruder was still around.
Carefully he set down the skull but set a paw on top of the crown. This was his. He had taken it from some strange seance and he wasn't feeling very keen on giving it up.
