Over the spring he and Black Ears had come across several other rabbits who seemed interested in their, well his idea, when they pitched it. So, now was a perfect time to find a place to settle into it.
Two days had past since they had started their journey in search of a permanent home. Two days since he had left his larger son Floppy Paws behind. Hopping out of the temporary burrow they had found for the night Portobello placed his mushroom cap on. The thing had a large paw sized hole in the top allowing the summer breeze to blow threw it.
A sigh escaped him as he met the morning's sun, he was conflicted with his decision to leave him behind, but as a leader he had to stand by his decision. The others now were depending on him to get them safely to their new home, where ever it was.

While Wood Ear knew the day would come that Floppy Paws was going to leave them, the loss of his brother was still upsetting, and his little heart ached the past two nights while he snuggled in his burrow with the remainder of his family. It was a rough sleep, plagued with unhappy nightmares of what might happen to Floppy Paws... and would Wood Ear ever see him again? Father seemed so very busy and already wracked with worries about where they'd find their new home. It must not have been an easy decision for him either, to leave behind one of his sons. So Wood chewed on his worries and kept them quietly to himself.
The warmth of morning breached the edge of the burrow and tickled Wood's nose, twitching him to wakefulness. He blinked through the shadows and stared out at the entrance to see the silhouette of his father looming against the daylight. With a yawn and a stretch, Wood pulled himself to his feet and hopped hesitantly after his father's shadow.
All this travelling was rather frightening to Wood. The world was so much bigger than a burrow and filled with things he'd never even conceived of. But Father and Uncle Black Ears said they were old enough to travel, and as scary as the world was, Wood was confident the adults would keep him and his brother safe.
"Are we going to find our new home today?" Wood asked, plopping down on his rear next to his father starting at him with wide, beguiling green eyes. "Is it very much further, do you think?"
What he really wanted to ask was how much further they'd be from Floppy Paws, but the idea squished inside him like a ball of worms. Maybe he'd ask Puffball later.

Black Ears did not care for this adventure his friend was pulling him on, but he had no where else to go and Portobello seemed to have a good eye for delicious food, hence one of the reasons why this lazy glutton stuck along for the ride. A snore escaped him as he rolled to his back. Squishing himself closer to the one next to him, Silent Scream.

"I do hope we find it soon" he spoke again his own green eyes looking down upon his soon Wood Ears. It seemed his hope was the same, Floppy Paws was of his blood, so he did not want to leave him too far behind.

With a quiet yawn, she gave herself a stretch and nudged Black Ears gently in an attempt to wake him up as her attention went to the other two dwarves.
She was quite a mess, fur sticking out in a random assortment of places and one ear folded back from an odd sleeping arrangement, and she was half-tempted to go back to sleep, but finding a new place to call home was just a smidge more important.
