Nori falls backwards as Candy pounces. "Ag! The handsome rogue is apon me. Whatever shall I do." Nori poceeds to slather her mate in slobber.

She didn't know why but she went and began digging a den to sleep in. She would normally stay away from the forest but it had peaked her interest and besides there was a log nearby she could relax on until it was time to return to her farm.

Nightshade ignored everything as she dug her den including a escape exit and a couple of tunnels. She had no idea on how long she had been digging the den.

Candy whined dramatically and quickly jumped off his mate as he grimaced at the slobber coating his face. He quickly jumped back into the water to wash it off as he momentarily panicked about his recently cleaned fur. When he left the water again he shook his fur out as best he could and gave his mate a dazzling smile as he playfully glared at her and said "you'll pay for that later, for now we should find nightshade. Do you remember where you last saw her?"

Nori thought for a moment. "She was heading to the ice-desert border. She said something about crops." Smiling, Nori licks his nose. "There, not messing up your fur. While it is just the two of us, I might as well tell you what all my instincts are telling me."

She nods in agreement, "Yeah, we don't want anyone stepping on them." Taking a careful step forward, she adds, "I'll be fine to come along; there's no need for anyone in the skulk to be out alone." Sable then starts walking towards a nearby area known for its abundance of cacti... and naturally, cactus fruit. Just what she needed to cheer up.

Noah gives himself a moment to skuck. I'm helping my crush! Following at a trot to keep up, Noah stuffs the spines in a cactus. One that was to small for juice. Smiling, he slows by the time he gets to Sable.

Sable couldn't help but be a little appreciative of Noah for his willingness to help her, even though she wanted to keep Noah at paws length away she couldn't help but feel a sense of warmth when she was near him. What was going on with her? She needed to get it together. She shook her thoughts from her head as she approached the field of cacti, wagging her tail at the sight of a couple fruits on one of them. Turning to look for Noah she spotted him just a couple paces behind her; She sat down and waited for him to catch up.

Candy couldn't help grimacing at the thought he'd have to go off the territory to get treated, he was already on thin ice with chestnut and firestorm for just barely going past the border, he'd surely get his trail ripped off for completely leaving the territory and going to the border of two others. Not to mention if anyone from the desert or forest skulk found them they probably wouldn't be happy either. When his mate mentioned her instincts and looked so happy he couldn't help but wonder what she wanted to tell him, could his guess have been right? If she was pregnant then they'd definitely have to be more careful but maybe while nightshade was checking his tail she could check if Nori was ok to? That seemed like a lot to ask a fox they barely knew but maybe if they brought some prey she wouldn't mind? The young fox shook himself from his thoughts as he realized he was getting ahead of himself, he smiled and asked "what have your instincts been telling you?" He had to have confirmation first, then he could start daydreaming

Accidental double post

I smile. "I'm expecting."Nori takes a minute to squeal. Just a short one."my instincts are also telling me that I should get your scrawny butt to Nightshade as soon as possible." Nori giggles at that. Nothing her mate, she moves forward a step.if I'm going to be expecting, I should not let candy near me. I might kick him. Or by his tail again. I think I'll sleep outside camp. Just outside. Not far. Just a little bit. Just tell the kits are born. For both of our safety.
