Mission 3: The special Guest; Decorating your Den
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The scent of flowers could be said to be overwhelming this time of year, at least for wolves who have sensitive noses. That wasn’t something that Neeka really cared about, though she didn’t actually hate flowers. Spring time also sent an abundance of prey births, so far it didn’t seem like there were any pack mates that were going to give birth. A yawn was given as Neeka stretched in her den, she had made is nice and large, perfect for her and a small family if she decided to have one. That was something she was going to leave until the future though, a sigh came as she stood up. Her small collection of odds and ends she found while exploring the land lay in one area of her den along with her bed of deer pelts where she was laying. Turning to the entrance of her den she heard the alpha call for a short meeting, one that she was enthusiastic to join. Walking out the door she walked quickly to the area of the meeting, her pack mates and alpha where all there as she sat and waited for the meeting to start. It didn’t take long as the alpha began speaking, hearing about Cyrus was something she wasn’t familiar with. She had just recently joined on the fly to the pack when they moved here, there was a list of things the alpha said she needed from the pack members and Neeka nodded as she said them. It didn’t seem like too much, this Cyrus character sounded like he could be a fun guy. 

Standing as the meeting ended she yawned again, an ear flicking back as she thought about how to decorate her den. The breeze brushed past her pelt as she turned to head back to her den, the scent of flowers and pine trees mingled together making an interesting aroma. A smile flicked across her lips as she continued on, it didn’t take long to get to her den. It was a pretty den half under a large pine tree, she enjoyed the smell of pine so much. Slipping inside her den she looked around. It was a little rocky, though nothing she couldn’t work with. There was a small higher flat piece that was raised a little bit higher than the rest of the den. Grabbing a light colored pelt from the corner of the room she moved it to the small rise, placing it diagonally on it. Turning she grabbed a youngling deer skull she had found, small horns protruded from the head, placing it on top of the fur she just placed she smiled. Neeka then pulled out a few blue and purple flowers she had admired while exploring, placing each color inside the deerling’s eye holes they spread out beautifully. Next she picked up some of the feathers that she thought were cute, she placed them along the muzzle part of the skull pointing upward in a mow hawk like fashion. She wiggled the feathers into cracks that the skull had. 

Pleased with her design she turned and pulled out a few large pine cones, one at a time she placed them around the skull with a few pine needle sticks with pine needles still attached. This gave her home a pine scent, though she didn’t really need the extra scenting since her den was half under a giant pine tree. Looking at her den she wondered what else she could do, almost all of her decorating stash had been used now. Tilting her head she sighed, perking up a moment as she noticed a small rock jutting out of the wall. It was a little flat, but it looked sturdy. Neeka took some grass rope and hung a lantern onto it, she was pleased with this. The lantern was near her den entrance, so it lit the room well. Looking at her room it was quite the space, at least to her. She had a few pelts that covered a semi circle of dried grass making a nest like bed, the furs where both elk and deer furs. you could see both her bed and the decorations she made, there was also room for improvement if she ever had a family of her own. Though it was bare it looked appropriate, with a smile she nodded to herself. Grabbing some of the left over flowers she left her den and placed them at the entrance of her den, this brightened it up a little bit and gave it a pleasing look. The decorating was now finished, she was excited. Thinking for a moment she thought about what the alpha said today, nodding to herself she turned to leave the den it was time to help Lady Haruko. Once that was finished she would green Cyrus, with a smile she was off.
