Hello thar! =)

Sometimes life at home was quiet and pleasant, and Hati Catori was content to stay beside his mother and sister and help them with their daily routines, or lose himself in a good book. Other days, though, he chafed under his charismatic brother's boundless enthusiasm, and his father's stern presence made him too self-conscious to read. Today was closer to the latter, and the young wolfdog had slipped away like a silent shadow, padding away from the elegant house near the Chien Hotel and closer to the borders. He would spend the day in solitude, lost in his own thoughts. He debated about crossing into neutral territory and exploring there, but a twist of insecurity quickly changed his mind. He was not courageous enough to leave his homeland entirely, not yet.

So finding himself unwilling to go back home but unwilling to stray too far, Hati slowed his pace, wandering aimlessly towards the gentle grassy slopes he knew concealed a system of caverns. They were dark and tranquil, hidden away from the late spring sunshine, and a place he liked to frequent. Other members of the Court obviously knew of their existence, but he still liked to pretend it was his secret place. His plumed tail stilled as he caught wind of a scent nearby -- a female packmate, his brother's friend. Quietly the dark-furred male settled onto his hindquarters near the cavern entrance, waiting politely to see if she would emerge.
