"I guess so. Well, you were the smart one to make it no?" he said, licking at her neck. "I fell in love with the smart one~" he sang playfully. "If we are going to hide from my brother, then we need to work a little more on the other den." he murred. He nipped at her and slipped back into their hidden chambers.
The chamber was dimly lit. The only sources of light was that coming from the entrance, the trap hole he created was covered with leaves so no light from there. The male tried to think of something but it was hard to come up with a way to get light into the room 24/7 when needed. "Amani~" he whined.

Amani grinned and hopped back down into their new room to take a look about. The room was a bit dark for her..surely the bed was comfortable enough..but it needed something.
She walked up beside Keeper and nipped at his neck playfully as she studied their room. They needed light..they needed warmth for their little..love nest. She smiled inwardly at the words.
" How about..a fireplace?" she said, nuzzling Keeper's neck, " All we'll need is a vent to the surface..so the smoke doesn't fill up our room..right?"
This could work..they'd only need to dig out a chimney really..how hard could it be?

"Well, the chimey will have smoke." he said, "and that would give away our secret." he finished, laying himself onto the rabbit furred bed. Keeper looked up at the ceiling. What if they made one vent that branched off into many. But would the smoke be harmful to everything around them? And that could call for fire wood, though Keeper could take care of that another work out.
"Amani, do you really think a fireplace would work?" he asked quizically. "I'll help." he offered, actually he was willing to do all of it if she wanted him to.

Amani was stumped..Keeper made very good points. She laid herself down next to him and hummed thoughtfully. "It would give us away, wouldn't it?..And if we made holes in the ceiling..like in your room..others on the surface could look in too.." she said, leaning on Keeper's side. " What else could light up our den..?"
(( Rawr..magic fire lol..or a huge jar of fireflies rofl no electricity here..is there? ))

"Our room, Amani." he corrected with a grin. "We could build a fire, sure, but we need a way to spread out the fire so not one strong cloud is produced." he said. Perhaps didn't make too much sense.
"If we do make a fire, we would need a vent. But that would cause a large tower of smoke. So why not make one vent that branched off to spread the smoke to smaller puffs. That way, the smoke won't do harm and we can keep our secret." he explained with a grin.
(( o.o the breeding report confused me....does Feline want Keeper to fill up that room with sand from eveyrwhere?))

Amani smiled and nuzzled at Keeper again happily. Adorable and smart..what more could she ask for? " That's a wonderful idea Keeper," she said with a lick, "How would we go about making this vent? Isn't it a long way to the surface?"
How would they reach the surface if it was so far up? Sure, Keeper was big and tall, but digging so far up vertically could be a problem..maybe they should slant the vent?
(( I think FO only meant that they make a shallow nest of sand..they could always just take the rabbit skins up and use their bed hollow as a nesting site..yes? ))

"Keeper will take care of that." he grinned. He licked her softly with a murr. He got up and chosen the wall opposite of the upper room's entrance and dug in a bit. He clawed out a box shape, taking the time to make it perfect for Amani. Keeper smiled and slipped out of the room and returned with a beak full of rather large, long sticks.
For the vent, he clawed at the top a bit until he could stand on his hindlegs. Then Keeper slowly dug at a diagonal slant. I think this is far. he pushed out with his body, compacting the dirt to give himself some movement in his shoulders. Pulling one stick up, he pushed it against one side of the small, very small, room and pushed it out until he could not hold it anymore. Keeper pulled it back and stuck his beak into the hole. Air. The male could smell fresh air. He took the stick and poked many holes all around him until he could breath freely. The male took in a long refreshing breath and looked around him. The holes he created branched off from near and far. Suddenly he reliezed what he just done....he was stuck in the vent of the fireplace. Keeper growled and thrashed about. "AMANI!" he shouted.
((Sure he can be smart sometimes....but....))

Amani heard the yell and scrambled out of bed, rushing into the fireplace vent after him. Her eyes widened in fear when she saw him stuck there. Softly she nuzzled his flank to calm him as she clawed the dirt away from Keeper's body. She dug a couple inches clearance for him on one side, and moved to the other. She repeated the process on his other side and nudged at him.
"Let all the air out of your lungs and pull backwards, love."
(( XD ))

Keeper groaned, he felt like an idiot....He could feel Amani touching him. His body was in the way so it was hard to see exactly what she was doing. He heard her voice. She's smart, I guess she knows what she's doing. Keeper exhaled and felt him get free and slowly moving down. Then something gave under him. Keeper slide down the vent and the two fell out, Keeper made sure he was on the bottom. He grinned up at Amani, his feathers dirty. "Thanks, love." he grinned playfully.
Note to self: NEVER make a vent....especially when you can slide down onto your mate.
((He's a doofus heart ))

Amani yelp in suprise as she slid down the vent with Keeper, landing on top of him with a quiet 'Uuf!" when they lanted. 'Well this was..interesting..' she thought. She grinned down at him and nipped at his neck playfully, noting that her own feathers had gotten quite dirty too. " I think we could use a bath.." she said, hopping off of Keeper and licking his cheek before walking to their den's entrance. She checked to make sure the coast was clear before climbing out.
(( Aye, but a lovable doofus nonetheless. heart ))

Keeper grinned and followed. He sort of "barked" towards Drey's room to let him know that he was going out. Too bad, Amani won't be around for you. he chuckled and slipped out.
The air was getting cooler as the sun got closer to the horizon. The only place where Keeper knew of water was the Lake. Keeper slowly stroll along side of his female companion. He crained his neck and nuzzled her gently, "I love you." he murred.

Amani walked closer to keeper and nuzzled him in return. With a murr of her own she answered, " I love you too.." in a dreamy tone. Being with him was so blissful..he was such pleasant company that she never wanted to leave. All she could hope for is that she never became one of those 'specimen' things that Drey talked about.
Gently Amani nipped Keeper on the shoulder. With gleeful smile, she said " Tag, you're it!" and bounded off towards the lake with a coy flick of her tail. She was light and speedy..but she didn't run too fast for Keeper, she wanted to be caught.

Keeper flinched when she tagged him. "Oh I see how it is." he grinned and bounded after her. Unaware of her intention he pounced on her as they rolled a bit. "I got you." he smiled. Keeper loved Amani, he didn't want to part with her. What sort of life will bloom with Amani around?
He licked her beak, "I would do anything for you." he spoke sincerely. Anything.

Amani let herself fall when Keeper pounced on her and held onto him. She licked at him in return and looked up at him admiringly."Well, that game of tag ended fast" she said with a smile, " and I would do the same for you, love."
She brushed some of the dirt off of his featherfur and nuzzled him softly. If Keeper got any sweeter she'd get cavities.
(( Awwwww.. whee ))

Keeper laid his head on her's, "But for you, a thousand times over." he murred and picked her up onto his back. "Come, we are getting dirtier the longer we are together." Keeper laughed.
At the lake, starlights painted teh water's surface with the dim light of the sun. Keeper put his paw into the water but then hesitated. Was she here...? he thought. Last time he went into the water he almost drowned because of her.
