Slowly but surely, she was relearning the territories. Getting to know her surroundings, and what kind of wolves were nearby. She'd liked what she'd seen thus far, and so she set out today from Cedar Den in search of company.
It was apparent by now that Easy was pregnant, if scent if not by appearance. She was doing her best to pack on pounds before she had young dependent on her for survival, but she seemed only as round as she always was in winter, accentuated by her plush, mottled pelt. It kept her warm as she threaded along the outskirts of the young woodland, pausing here and there to snuffle in the snow. Scents were sometimes buried beneath the freeze, albeit none fresh enough to draw much interest from the black bear.
She stopped at the charred stump of an ancient tree. It reminded her of another burned tree, far from here, on an island she'd visited as a girl. Shaking herself out of her memories, she lifted her head to give a low, querying howl.
Is there anybody out there?
