Lamb

Cub

The Silvermoon camp was honestly pretty cool.

She wasn't used to pack life, considering foxes were mostly loners, so a pack was a new and exciting site for her.

She bounced around place to place, Elise calmly guiding her with a little smile on her face. Most of it was dens, like "nursery here, medical ward here, training area here, dens here, dens there" etc., but she loved it.

After exploring the training center, Elise, who was near silent the whole time besides when she named a area, spoke up.

"You are not unlike a cub, Holly."

"Huh?"

"You bounce from thing to thing, each a shiny new toy."

Holly flushed.

"W-well, yeah. I've never seen this kind of stuff before. Loners, remember?"

"Of course."

Holly willed her face into compliance as they reached what she assumed was the last stop.

"This is my den," Elise said, "I-if you want, you can sleep here. I don't mind..."

Holly paused to study her face, she looked really nervous. How could she say no to that face? I mean, come on!

Holly grinned.

"I'd be happy too."

Elise grinned as well.

"Well... I see you in the morning, then."

"What!? That's it?"

"Yup! That's it. Pretty cool, huh?"

Holly grinned, walking into the dark den.

"I'd say."

She sat on a leaf-bed-thing similar to the one in Ren's den. There were several others, though, and Elise settled onto into the one on her right, which looked the most lived in.

"Where are the others?"

Elise paused.

"... There are no others."

"Why not?"

Elise smiled, but it didn't reach her eyes.

"Don't worry about it! Let's just get some sleep, 'kay?"

"Yeah... I'm pretty tired anyway."

"Mhmm."

Holly curled into a tight ball, settling for her human form since the bed too small for her Dire one. She hoped tomorrow would be a good as today was. Although she had a lot of questions, hopefully Elise could answer them.

'Eh, she'll ask them tomorrow.
