Blackfoot Forest Lately

For @Leto!!

Aveline was up early and ready to go. She wanted to explore her new territory more deeply, scout out the borders and memorize them. Create a map in her mind. To her, it was a mandatory thing that she must do if she is going to support her pack. She stood there for a quick moment, pondering on which direction she should go first before finally deciding upon heading left. Large paws led the large woman through the thick but leafless foliage and around trunks. Eventually, she made it to the borderline, opposite from where she had sat, waiting to be accepted only days ago. 

Without stepping over the border just yet -- as if it could break the thread that bound her here, she began to trace the territory's perimeter. The wind carried cheerful, summery smells to her nose, along with the scent that promised new beginnings were to arrive. Green would return to the foresaken place and the herds would come back. The skinny wolves she saw around her would become healthy again. With her few days within the region, Aveline had already begin to thin. Her bulkiness was quickly turning into slenderness and before she knew it, she would be lanky and bony like everyone else. She feared for her health and just had to hope for the best. Soon, life would return, and then she would be able to help nurse not only herself but her whole pack back to health.
