Qamar let her gaze grow wistful as Slancio described his ocean home. During her travels south, she had remained inland, not getting any closer than several miles to the coastline. Perhaps, at a later date, she would visit the beach, try her hand at catching some of the marine prey the Saltwinter wolf spoke of.

"Birds," she repeated, her voice a little hesitant. "I haven't been long in the mountains, but I haven't caught many birds while I've been here. I've stuck with fish in lakes and streams, the occasional hare or squirrel near the foothills as well. I imagine the mountain deer and goats will return soon. . .god willing."

She picked up her pace, beginning to lope through the forest paths yet making sure she did not leave her new companion behind. It felt good to run, her silver pelt rippling in the balmy early summer breeze.
