Jinx loped at ease through the creek's inner woodland, keeping to the shadows she so favoured. The day was cool and the sun overhead was weak and milky, but it was warm enough for a wolf. She had considered seeking out Lethe to warn her of the insane wolves of Blacktail Deer Plateau, but changed her mind. Left without a purpose for the time being, the pale female wandered.
Clamped in her mouth was a small, pitiful squirrel. As winter drew nearer to spring, the animals that often hid away from the cold were emerging. This one had been unlucky. She thought it hadn't stored enough for the winter, and was too weak to struggle with any great strength. There was no remorse for having killed it, though. She was a wolf, and wolves had to eat just as well as squirrel's did.
She chose a fallen log in the forest, which she ascended to with dainty, cautious steps. It held her weight, so Jinx lay herself down, sphinx-like, though she shifted her weight once or twice in a vain attempt to find comfort. When she found a suitable position, she took to the squirrel clutched now between her forepaws, and tore at it with all the messy savagery of her species.
