Heron Lake Plateau they rush to tell, they rush to say

@Raven @Quixote and any others who want to join! PP with permission of pyro (present) & rannoch (not present). set a wee-bit in the future for timeline purposes.

when rannoch had first asked coelho if she was interested in doing something for the betterment of the coven, her little heart had skipped a beat and she had insisted after her delight of being entrusted his messenger. she carried the task he had bestowed upon her with great honor; it might have been a simple task, but coelho was a simple wolf (coywolf?) and thrilled in the prospect of proving herself to her people, and feeling actualized within sunspire.

and so, she left with @Pyro -- it was a good thing she had him for company, because she was a terrible navigator and he was great company. twice now, they had gotten lost.. or maybe just a little misguided -- redhawk caldera was not where rannoch had instructed, and it took a few days to get their bearings and scout other packs in the area. meaning, their trip that had at first been a jaunt, was now a proper journey -- no, adventure! coelho was positively enchanted by this, and pyro had the good humor to put up with her bottomless stupidity jubilance as the days wore on.

and then, just like that, they came upon marked territory. coelho had hung back, worried and looking to her new friend for assurance. the perimeters seemed well supported, and the markings freshly laid; certainly they were at someone's doorstep.. the only question was, whose?

coelho carefully placed the pretty feather (that she had been carrying like an idiot the last two days) on the ground, and placed a paw tenderly over it. it was a broad feather, long and unidentfiable and possibly belonging to some great raptor; it carried a blackish blue sheen and coelho was damn proud of finding it, and hoped to give it to whoever she saw first, provided they didn't bite her or insult her ancestry. she threw back her head in a howl, her little body shaking half with excitement, half with anxiety, as she waited for the wolves of these unknown lands to come and find them.
