" You're telling me that black stuff is juice ? Ardenia , did you put something in it again ? Just say it - I promise I won't hit you ! " Tobias questioned , instantly suspicious .

What he didn't expect was for Halden to pick up a cup and down half of it in one go . " So ? How is it ? " Ardenia ignored Tobias and turned to Halden . " It's good . What did you make it with ? " Good was an understatement . It was pleasantly sweet and tart , and somehow cool to the tongue . He didn't know how she'd done it , but it was perfectly refreshing . " Mulberries . " Halden frowned . " What's that ? " " See those trees over there ? " Ardenia pointed toward the grove nearby . " They're full of them . " " Those ? I thought those were for birds .

They're tiny , not even filling , and you can make juice out of them ? " " Of course . It's not just tasty - it's packed with nutrients and antioxidants ." More importantly , it helped with sleep . Ardenia had already decided she'd drink another cup before bed that night . Maybe then she wouldn't have to lie awake half the night listening to all that mating noise . It had only been two days , but she already felt like she was turning pale from lack of rest . Tobias didn't catch any of that - all he'd heard was tasty .

When he saw that Halden was fine after drinking it , he rushed over , grabbed the other cup , and gulped it down in one go . No kidding - it really was delicious , tangy , and sweet . " Ardenia , remember to call me next time there's work to do , " he said , thumping his chest proudly . " Sure , I'll call you ," she said with a small smile before turning back to her task . She used a small shovel to sketch a rough outline on the ground , then started building . She only had one pot , so a simple single - burner stove would do .

But she planned to build two side counters as well - one for washing dishes and one for cutting vegetables . Connected together , it would be more convenient . Below , she sectioned out a few compartments for storage . Once she had it planned out , she got right to work . She coated the mud blocks with the clay - and - limestone mixture and stacked them carefully . Whatever stuck out , she trimmed away neatly with a small gardening spade . Her movements were quick and efficient not at all what one would expect from someone her size .

A soft green glow wrapped around her , and for a fleeting moment , Halden thought she didn't look all that bad after all . " Need a hand ? " he asked . When Tobias saw Halden move to help , he followed suit . " I'll help too . " Ardenia couldn't hold back a grin . She had just thought of the perfect job for the two of them . " Dig a hole right here , " she said .

" It needs to be straight and about this wide . Make sure it's round , and dig until you hit water - but not too shallow . " Even if the river looked clean , she didn't want to use it for drinking or cooking , especially with all those leeches in it . And as a woman . ! herself a well - that would be anter wash up at night wasn't exactly convenient . But if she could dig In truth , Ardenia was rather different story .. he , or the original Ardenia's dramatic episodes . If not for that spectacle , her father would never have rateful " sent here alone .

From a therian's perspective , this area was remote , but from hers , it was perfect - there was a small river nearby and a grove of trees not far from the entrance . Her cave faced south , its mouth almost level with the ground - probably because the original Ardenia had been on the heavy side . Ardenia inspected it carefully . Once her kitchen was done , she could even clear out a small vegetable patch in front . As for the well , she planned to dig it about six feet away from the kitchen for easy access to water .

She'd taken a rough look at the terrain the night before and decided the best place for the well was the western - northwestern direction - auspicious enough , with a strong groundwater vein and no conflict with her layout . That made her even more determined to go ahead with her plan . What could she say - she was superstitious . The energy of her cave and its surroundings was excellent , and she didn't want to mess up the flow . When she finished explaining , she gestured toward the two men . Halden was the first to respond .

Though he didn't quite understand what she was doing , he figured following instructions wouldn't hurt . Using a twig , he drew a perfect circle on the ground and asked , " Like this ? " Ardenia nodded , her eyes gleaming with approval - though with her squinted eyes , Halden couldn't tell . Tobias followed Halden's lead . Then , before she could react , both therians shifted into their beast forms- and the sight nearly made Ardenia jump out of her skin . Halden wasn't too bad ; at least he turned into a big , fluffy snow leopard . But Tobias ...

Good heavens , his snake body is as thick as a barrel ! And those scales - cach one the size of a coin , dark and gleaming- absolutely terrifying ! Ardenia instinctively took a step back , trying to compose herself . " You two ... what are you doing ? " 079 13:05 Tue , Dec 30 GD Chapter 9 Who Said I Wanted to Dissolve the Bond ? +10 Free Coins " Digging the hole , like you said . You wanted it deep and round , right ? " Tobias hissed , his forked tongue flicking as he spoke . Oh , right - duh ! Ardenia nodded quickly , pretending she'd known all along .

The fright had scrambled her brain for a second - how could she have forgotten that snakes were expert burrowers ?! Halden started first , his large paws clawing through the dirt with astonishing speed . Dust flew everywhere , but the shape was neat and symmetrical . Ardenia nodded approvingly . A quick learner , that one . The three of them worked together , each busy with their own task . Ardenia finished building her stove first . While the other two were still digging , she used her wood - based technique to draw excess moisture from the clay .

That way , it would be ready to use by nightfall . The pot fit perfectly atop the new stove - snug and airtight . No more stray smoke , and her food would stay clean . Tobias was fast too . Once H had cleared out the shape , Tobias slithered inside , polishing the walls smooth with his massive body . His Pped out of the hole , covered in dirt , and he looked utterly ridiculous . read Ardenia couldn't help herself - she burst out laughing . Oh my god . so that's how snakes dig ? Why does it look kind of adorkable ? Tobias noticed her laughter and immediately bristled .

Thinking she was mocking him , he flicked his tongue angrily and slithered closer , lowering his head toward her . " Don't scare her , " Halden growled , baring his fangs as he stepped protectively in front of Ardenia . " She started it , " Tobias hissed . " She laughed at me , so what if I scare her a little ? Maybe next time she won't sneak poison into the food . " " Don't forget - she's our mate , " Halden said , his tone hard . Tobias let out a cold snort . " After the Moon Tide Festival , she won't be . So get out of my way .
