Emberwood hunger

Hope you don't mind me joining in :>

Anita had considered going on a scouting trip, but decided to map out a few areas first. Getting some time in to explore was a bonus as well, seeing that there were new things awaiting her in every corner of the wilds. She strolled through the valley, seeking for something that would catch her eye. Not much apart from the unfamilar flora and fauna was very interesting, so she decided to keep on walking.

A smell hit her. The smell of sickness, or at least the result of it. Something had emptied the contents of its stomach, or in other words, something had just puked up its lunch. Anita wrinkled her nose, but decided to investigate. Maybe someone needed help, though her presence may not be welcomed by whomever she stumbled across.

Anita kept her body low, picking her way through the undergrowth with care and expertise. Just imagine you are hunting, is what she told herself as she slunk through the dense foliage. What she saw was a small pup, feeble and alone. Anita stayed hidden, wide eyes peering through the undergrowth as the pup crawled to satiate his hunger. Once he was well out of reach, the she-wolf followed quietly behind.

The pup was tearing into his find like it was the last deer left in the world. She wasn't even sure if he was starving -- there seemed to be driving force or ferocity that fueled his feasting. Anita broke through the undergrowth, forfeiting her secrecy.

"May I ask your name, little one?" she asked softly, hoping her presence wasn't startling.[/ooc]
