Fawkes sat on the old dresser, his talons sprawled out on the new wood. Originally the grey wolf had found the dresser to be more in the way than anything else. But recently she had decided to tackle it as her new project. Although mostly simple, there were some intricate leaf shaped designs on the old dresser making the task of restoring the wood more difficult. However, the things she had replaced felt beautiful under her paws and Fawkes certainly seemed to like the fix. The grey female had managed to completely replace or restore the the frame to the dresser, leaving her with only the drawers to finish. Hotaru had spent hours the previous night studying the drawers so she could replicate them.
With the dimensions and designs in mind, Hotaru packed her satchel full of tools and grabbed the previously prepared wood. The scent of fresh wood filled Hotaru's nostrils and she smiled in anticipation for the days work. Carving was something she loved to do, and it filled her with the most astounding sense of peace. With Fawkes close behind her, the two set out of the house. Hotaru could feel the wind rustle her fur as the large bird flew past her head. She stepped out into the sunlight and enjoyed the feeling of the suns rays against her skin. Hotaru moved with practiced steps towards her normal carving rock but stopped when she picked up Terra's scent. Her nose and ears twitched, but the blind wolf continued on to the boulder where she placed her burden.
Fawkes had flown out of the house before Hotaru and the sight that greeted the hawk was surprising. There was that coywolf from the forest, and she was laying on the bench that his master had made. Fawkes flew to the bench and landed gracefully onto the back. He turned his head to stare at Terra and asked inquisitively, "Terra tired?" Fawkes caught a smile on Hotaru's face, meeting friends so suddenly could even get the normally stoic wolf to smile. "Hello Terra."
