" yes..." she leads the way out of the cave, trying to figure out what her new mate is hiding.

" so... the hunt... What happened? you can tell me... you need to learn to trust me you know..."

( ahh i gtg so we'll keep going tomarrow bye!)

(okay, ill answer now, you can respond back tomorrow then)

"We'll you see...males of all creature kinds have a problem with sharing problems, but I'll tell you I guess if it's really important. So while I was running off with the teen elk, he's male and had tiny horns, but I was too busy running and got some scratches" then he shows some 3 inch long scratches on his legs and paws some 5 inches with blood running.

" Fighter... hang on.." she licks his wounds gently and cleans off the blood.

" better?" she says glancing at him with concern.

He smiles warmly answering her, "Yes".

she places her head on his back.

" well let's go home, stone is waiting for us. besides... maybe if i feel up to it tomarrow we'll go on a hunt together." she says before licking his face and backing up

He licks her face back saying, "Sure, let's go home then". Then he offers his paw to her, like a prince. Fighters eyes shine with handsomeness.

she places her paw on his, her blue eyes shining with wonder and power. she felt at peace for the first time in years.

after they get to the den ice lays down and looks at fighter.

" there's a full moon tonight... it's been such a long time since i've howled with a partner..." she wanted to howl but held it in, her howl was squeaky and hourse. it was beautiful but she didn't think so

"Then lets go howl?" he tells her, no worry being seen in his words or body posture.

" ok..." she stands and they walk outside where the moon is shining brightly.

She takes a deep breath and howls long and beautiful, hourse but sweet at the same time. she howls for a while before becoming self consious and beginning to blush.

Fighter howls at the same time as she did. His howl sounded strong and loud. He kept howling even though she stoppped. 3 minutes later after the one long 5 minute howl, he stopped to take a breath.
