For the most part, she was enjoying the return of the prey by hunting the waking hours away -- and this time, to much better success than the last several weeks. It was good for morale, although it did trouble her sometimes how quickly she would tire. Since the lightning strike and all things that had followed in the wake of it, that had been the case for her. Now, she was starting to wonder if she would be able to tell where one cause ended and another began.

She had continually been glad she had joined them, although still felt like she knew the female very little -- mostly because of the timing of things lately and her own focus being tugged in so many other directions.

She approached slowly and moved to join in on a path alongside hers. "Heldi," she greeted lightly when she got closer and kept ears angled back somewhat until she knew she was not invading. Since she was not feeling aggressively sociable herself, she would need a bit to ease into this as well so her start was slow.
