Lilac

The small, lithe female sniffs about the den area. It hasn't been used in a long time. After lapping up some water from the creek, Lilac crawls down the tunnel and into the den's chamber. She claws at the walls to widen them a bit, then falls to sleep in the cool darkness.

Aquila

Without rely checking the den out, Aquila climbs down the narrow town and then up into the chamber. Surprised and alarmed, he discovers Lilac and whimpers a quick apology. "I'm sorry, I didn't know you were in here. It's too hot out there in the sun."

Lilac

She smiles, unalarmed. She knew he was coming through her keen senses. "It's quite alright. I'll leave you to the den; I need run anyways." She licked his muzzle in respect, though they were equal in rank; Aquila in experience, and her in youth and vitality. She also knew Aquila needed rest for his old body, so she slipped past him without another word, and paced off farther into the territory.
