Tallowfur sat back on her hunches, thoughtfully surveying her surroundings. She was at her camp, watching the elders talking to each other and telling the kits stories, while the warriors were discussing strategies for the boundary patrol. And here was the latest boundary patrol. They were coming back from remarking the lines. Tallowfur smiled. Her own son was among those on the patrol. He stood so proud! She needed to talk to him but it could wait. This was his first mission as a warrior and all the other warriors were congratulating him. Tallowfur decided she would wait until she could speak with him alone. The matter wasn't that urgent after all. It was just a story about his father, Longtail, when he was that age. She had gone on the patrol with him. They had gotten attacked and Longtail had saved her life. Then, not long after that, Tallowfur had fallen in love with Longtail, and he with her. She grinned to herself, remembering. Ahh, such memories. She couldn't wait to share them with her son. He was old enough to understand... Which reminds me. Where is Longtail? He should be here as well to congratulate his son. Tallowfur stands and walks to the Warrior's Den to see if he was in there. Sure enough, he was. "Getting all ready for our son, I see." Tallowfur greeted him. She smiled because she knew he was bursting with pride and couldn't wait to get out there... but his fur wasn't right. She laughed, "Here, let me help you." She went to him and licked his fur down, instead of sticking straight up like it had been.
