Elf vs. Orc 9Sings-to-Trees' head shot up. He knew Fleabane's barks like the back of his hand. Short, rapid barks, not grating, hysterical ones--somewhere between a greeting and a warning. Fleabane knew the person approaching, but he didn't really like them.

That meant it was either one of the humans from down the road (excepting Matilda, who brought cheeses and always had a tidbit for a hungry coyote) or the rangers.

"Shit!" Sings-to-Trees leapt to his feet and began kicking Celadon's armor under the bed, followed by the extra blankets.

Celadon got unsteadily to her feet. "What is it?"

"Company. Might be rangers."

Oh, yeah? You'd have to be fast... to snatch it from me! XD ^^

I would totally buy a copy for my offspring if I had some. Heck, I'd even buy a copy in anticipation of having offspring.
