Aratona padded through the forest. The soft lush grass cooled her pads after the long trip through the mountains. Aratona licked her mate's cheek as she kept her eyes open for any signs of a good home.

Sekine wrapped his tail protectively around Aratona's shoulders. He started to notice a dip in the ground and exchanged a glance with Aratona before picking up the pace.

Aratona raced a little behind him, her broken paw slowing her down. She also wanted Sekine to be the first to check it out.

Sekine raced forward until he let out a loud yowl. He plummeted down and landed with a thud.

Aratona raced forward and stopped carefully. She looked down and carefully picked her way down beside her mate. She sniffed his fur, seeing if he was ok.

Sekine grunted and pushed himself into a sitting position. He looked around "I am glad that I didn't fall over there." He pointed with his tail to the high side in a cliff. Looking around his eyes brightened up "Aratona! I think we found our home!" He got up and raced around. "We have dens for everything!" Racing to the crack in a wall he poked his head inside. "This could be the medicine den." He looked up at a high tunnel "We can sleep in there" He sniffed at a Honey Suckle bush "This can be for when the kits come, so they don't fall off the cliff." Sticking his head in a bramble bush "This can be the guest den" He raced over to a torn bush in a hole in the hollow "And this can be the entrance! This is perfect." He covered his mate in happy licks.

Aratona followed him at a slightly lower speed because of her paw, but got just as excited as he was. She soon started making preparations; Putting moss in the dens, collecting herbs and prey, digging a fresh-kill pile, and clearing undergrowth.

Sekine helped Aratona prepare their home. When they were done he looked around proudly. It was perfect!

Aratona looked around then licked her mate's ear. A yawn parted her jaws and she looked longingly up at the den. "Let's get some sleep. Tomorrow we can see if Althaia wants to come over." She began to climb the rocks up to their den. When she reached it she curled up in the big dip that they would share. Maybe she could collect some feathers tomorrow to make it more comfortable.

Sekine curled around her, licking her fur in rhythmic strokes until he fell asleep.
