Mweko shuddered. "I wouldn't think it's even worth it", she said as she padded after him. As he inspected the ribcage, she felt like shaking uncontrollably at the thought of living inside a deceased animal.
"You aren't going to live in there are you?", she gasped. "Wouldn't you rather have a cave?", she asked, looking around. She wondered if there even were actual caves in the graveyard.

 "No, not there," Yakuti said as he came out of the ribcage, "If we could find a cave then maybe, but there are only a few and as far as I know they are all taken." He said, running around inspecting all the larger rocks and bones, he had an idea, but he didn't know if it would work.
He stopped in front of an unocupied elephant skull, it was small, a full grown hyena could lay inside comfortably, but there would not be room for much else. He sniffed around inside and felt that it would be a good temorary den, but once he got older... He looked up and saw a small pit, about three feet deep about four yards to his left, if he could move the skull over it then there would be a roomy area beneath it!
"Hey Mweko, do you think you could help me move this over there?" He asked happily, indicating the pit and being quite proud of his logic.

Mweko pulled back in disgust. Touch it?, she wanted to say. She shuddered, then locked eyes with Yakuti. He wants this, she thought. She'd do it.
Mweko sighed, "Okay", then approached the bones. Her outstretched paw took a moment to touch the glossy bone, and she winced as if it hurt her when her paw finally colided with it. Eww.

Yakuti cocked his head to one side, "Are you okay? Is there something wrong with this one?" He asked, sniffing it to check. He shrugged and attempted to lift it with his mouth, it was extremely heavy, and he could only lift it a little, but he could have moved it on his own if he had too, it just would take a lot longer.
"c'mon 'en, 'es go." Yakuti said with the edge of the skull still in his mouth.

"It's just ... disturbing to me, is all", Mweko said, a little embarassed for acting so cubishly.
She nodded to Yakuti. Her small, red frame pressed hard against the skull as she nudged it forward with her paws and shoulders pressed firmly around it. "Two ... yards to go", she gasped.

Yakuti tugged on the skull as hard as he could, they were on the edge of the pit and he nearly fell in, but he rotated the skull so he wouldn't and neither would the skull. He walked around to the other side and shoved it with Mweko untill it was over it.
He had his own den.
"Thank you so much Mweko, thank you!" He said gratefully, still panting a bit. He went around front and ducked inside, he jumped down into the pit and got a pleasant surprise, it flared out a bit at the bottom, looking straight down nobody would be able to tell it was there, but there was a bit more space there, it was perfect.
He jumped back out of his den (he had to jump a bit because of how deep it was) and looked at Mweko. "I'm going to go hunt now, goodbye and I hope to see you again!" He said, stalking off to find something to eat.

Mweko nodded, smiling, as she turned to leave. She hoped to see her new friend again someday.
