After a few days of sticking around the northwestern end of the territory, Rook decided it was about time to find out what lay on the eastern side of Crimson Dreams’ airy countryside. He had spent the last few hours hiding out in one of the handful of tunnels that made up Skip Caves and now that the rain had finally let up, the opportunity for exploration beckoned him out to play. Within hours of hiking and dilly-dallying across the lush green terrain and shallow mud depressions, his eyes eventually spotted a large manor in the distance. He smiled, wondering what type of personalities he would meet once he drew closer. The premises looked as though it could easily house a dozen residents or perhaps even more.
Shifting his messenger bag so that it lightly beat against his hip as he walked, he sprinted on over as fast as his two legs could take him. He eyed the front porch quietly, admiring it for a moment before a subtle movement caught his eye not too far from it. There, by an indentation of mud, sat a light brown pup, seemingly occupied in guarding something. Rook waved to her before calling out in salutation, “Hello.” He approached her cautiously, in case she didn’t want him too close, and stopped just within a good distance to normally talk to her without raising his voice or yelling.
His attention went to the collection of earth before her, making him perk his ears forward curiously.“Whatcha got th-there?”
