Exx smiled gently, the longer hairs on her head blowing in the sweet-smelling breeze. She could feel Spring coming. Her tail wagged behind her, for there was nothing a wolf loved more than Spring, which came with the promise of pups and the return of the herds upon which the wolves preyed.
Exx stepped forward and brushed her cold, wet nose against Sparrow's cheek. "Yes. Really." She looked into his deep, caring eyes, but her attention was brought to a butterfly who fluttered dizzily over their heads, the setting sun sending its subdued rays through the insect's translucent wings. It was beautiful. Ex smiled and giggled. "Look", she whispered, "The first butterfly of Spring! She must've just hatched." Exx wrinkled her nose happily and looked back to her friend. "She must have just come out of her cacoon!" Her big emerald eyes sparkled with wonder and delight.

Sparrow smiled slightly and was quiet for the few seconds that they made eye contact. After she looked away, she followed her gaze and spotted the butterfly. He jumped up excitedly, he tail wagging a bit. Butterflies were always so fun to chase, but he would never allow himself to chase the very first butterfly he saw when Spring was near.
"Well, that's a good sign! Spring must be really close then," he said with a slight yip at the end. He tilted his head as he watched the butterfly's curving and jittery path. He glanced back to Exx and then to the sky, swaying slightly as he continued wagging his tail.

Exx smiled wearily and her powerful jaws parted to form a big yawn. She blinked, her eyelids feeling like they weighed thirty pounds each. She usually didn't act so vulnerable around other wolves, but Sparrow was different. She felf safe around him. She'd never experienced such a bond with any other wolf but her family and Sukalina, the kind old female that had taken Exx under her wing.
"Shall we go to the dens, then?" She yawned again, looking at Sparrow intently. "I fear that if I stay out much longer I'll fall asleep on the ground right here."

Sparrow's tail wagged sympathetically and he nodded as he remembered the times when he'd been that tired. "Okay let's go, then," he said in a light tone before taking off at a slow trot towards the dens. For a moment, he wondered if Exx remembered the way back, but soon decided that it didn't matter if she did or not.
He paused and glanced back to make sure she was following. He would feel pretty stupid if he'd just gone off alone and left her back in the clearing by herself. He gave a small sheepish smile at the thought of embarrassing himself like that and then pulled himself from his thoughts.
