Gathering
Frost and Snapdragon peered inside the barren storage hole. It was nearly empty and dried leaves and small twigs littered the floor. The supplies were little to none with no variation. Many of the items were used up.
"Looks like we need to restock." Snapdragon said fiddling with a pile of crushed leaves. Frost nodded and sniffed at a few dry herbs and petals.
"Restock is an understatement." The buck said gruffly. "We need to gather new materials and stock up on things we don't have."
Snapdragon looked at him, then back to the storage. "You're right. Injuries are likely and we have nothing to heal them, we also need nesting material, and other supplies."
Frost only grunted his agreement. Snapdragon pushed past him and to the surface, the white and chestnut rabbit on her tail. The chief sniffed the air a couple of times then turned toward her friend.
"Frost, how about we go on a little supply run?"
The buck cocked his head in confusion. "Supply run?"
"Yeah, like, gather new supplies, restock our storage. You know?" Snapdragon decided to hype up the chore even more. "It will be your first task as an official member of the warren!"
Frost perked up. He would do anything to become accepted into Misty Vale Warren. He wasn't necessarily the brightest but he sure was loyal and determined. "Yeah! That sounds great!"
"Perfect!" The doe said happily. "I can show you all the best places to gather supplies!"
The two set off across the territory together, looking to restock their storage. Snapdragon took Frost to Veheer's Los and the two gathered some materials only found there.
"The water here is pretty." Frost commented as he searched around.
"It is. It's also close and makes fertile land for plenty of herbs and plants." Snapdragon agreed.
The did end up venturing a little too close to the Forest of Elil and had to take cover for an hour or so as a fox ventured out of the forest and explored the open field for a little while. They did end up seeing a few new things though, as they took a break and played in some pine needles. The rabbits went no further than Irerah's Ear as they had grown cautious and couldn't carry very much.
Snapdragon made Frost carry most of the supplies all the way back to the Warren. The made it back to the warren a bit after ni-Frith. Snapdragon was just happy she didn't have to do all the gathering alone and had a little pack mule with her, though she really had grown attached to Frost and considered him a friend. She wouldn't admit anything though.
"What a day!" Snapdragon said as she went down to her den.
"You're telling me." Frost grumbled through a mouthful of materials, he had started to catch on to Snapdragon's scheme but it was too late at that point. He just decided to let it go and put all of what he had carried back into the storage. Frost couldn't help but feel a little accomplished after his first task despite Snapdragon's cunning words earlier.
