Tuktu Hinterlands Pretty Lollipop

In the shelter of the forest, the storm had been less bad and Skylaris took that as a good thing. As much as she enjoyed snow, a blizzard was never good. She had come this way while exploring the area - since she had just joined Silver Creek and it was vital for her to get to know the area. It might have been useful to have her friend, Mawk, around to show her the different areas of the Hinterlands but he had other matters to attend to and he was busy enough with his lovelife, that was clearly causing him issues.

That was another thing on her mind. She had never considered love as to her it seemed like the other was dragging you down, but Mawk didn't seem to think that. Him and Illecebra, as she believed she was called, seemed to go together so well, according to what the wolfdog had said and it confused Skylaris. Sure, she was no way near ready to settle down, not just yet, but it was a thought that returned to her. With a sigh, the she-wolf continued through the woods, pondering her friends options. If he wished to be with his lover, then there was no way he could stay in Silver Creek. He had told Sky that Spring didn't want any more pups in the pack and that they already had too many mouths to feed, but he had also mentioned that Illecebra might be joining a troupe of wolves wishing to start a new pack. If that was the case, it seemed logical that Mawk went with them. Besides, she would see him again, right?

The silver wolfess was so captured by her thoughts that she walked straight into a lump on the ground and stumbled. She turned her head with shock and surprise, only to find that the lump was not just a lump, but another wolf.
