He had risen in the predawn hour, the moment where the sun had not quite fully risen above the horizon but existed just enough to bleed color into the fading night sky; faintly, stars and galaxies alike still shone through to add their own parting splashes of color. It was a sight to behold, though he did not pay it much mind along the low foothills close to the river. It had been where he and @Hydra had tuckered out for the night, and already on that morning he sought to unearth something from a cache to share with her.
Sifting among ferns and stones, it did not take him long to find where he had stashed away a stoat from the day before. Luckily for him, no one had taken off with it though even that would have been a short list of candidates. His siblings, his children, perhaps even one of his nieces or nephew—he could have easily seen the youngest of their pack finding it to be more entertaining to cart off a short snack for giggles.
But today did not favor such behavior and as he gathered it up from the soft soil, his eyes were drawn to the pastel sky that heralded in the new day. The birds had begun to sing their morning songs and it hastened his return to where he hoped Hydra would still be, thinking perhaps this time she would not be so enticed to wander off on him just yet in another rousing game of keep away.
