Thoirni had finally settled on an old abandoned den near Rabbit Lake. It was high enough that if the lake flooded he would be in no danger, but close enough to the lake to be easy access to prey and water. His sun shot sapphire orbs shot open this morning to the dim light shining through the opening of his home as he stretched his forelegs out, each toe spread wide as he felt the strain of his muscles in the effort. He let a jaw cracking yawn break out as he rolled onto his back and slowly stretched out his hindlegs as well.
His morning routine was a slow and steady pace, finally the male was done as he rolled back onto his belly and slide out of his small and cozy den. The weak sunlight rained down on his pelt as he shook the dirt and debris from his fur. He opened his eyes wide again to glance around before deciding that he should explore around the lake more this day.
His large paws padded down the sloping incline as he growled softly, watching his breath burst forth in a frosty film in the air. He tried it again, watching the swirl before him slowly disappear before he shook his head at the folly and finished his stroll to the lake. Bending his head down low the large male broke the thin ice with a oversized paw before he lapped up the refreshing chilly waters.
