Since her joining of The Sunspire, Zephyr has been reclusive and cautious when faced with new wolves. She had originally tried to keep an open mind toward making new friends, but found that hardly anyone approached her on their own. The silver lady couldn't work up enough courage to strike up a conversation with anyone she came across, so instead, she sulked around on her own for the most part.
On a rather chilly autumn day, she found herself exploring the still-new Sunspire territory, taking in all of the scents and sights that she could absorb from her surroundings and keeping her keen eyes alert for prey. While she was out on her walk, shrouded in solitude, she decided to reflect upon the recent events that had occurred. In truth, she was soon lost in thought and just wandering wherever her feet decided to take her.
hey :) hope you don't mind me causing some trouble, lol
She knew she wasn't allowed to be here, she'd learned a harsh lesson about trespassing when she'd stumbled into Blackfeather territory. But Meeka had changed so much since then, since she'd met Fang and he'd taken her under his wing. He'd taught her to hunt, to provide for herself. But more importantly, he'd taught her she could steal what others had hunted.
That's why Meeka was here today. She'd been lurking near the territory for days, watching the Sunspire wolves and learning what she could about their habits, and where they hid their food. She'd learned the location of a cache not too far inside the territory that would be easy to raid. Slip in, dig it up, and get out. She'd be in and out before they knew she was there.
The raider reached the hiding spot and started to dig, unearthing a large piece of meat. Smirking with smug satisfaction, she lifted the meat out of the hole.
"Too easy," she said to herself, as she started for the safety of the border.
The approach of a wolf caused her to stop in her tracks. The border was so close, but she knew the wolf would likely chase after her. She couldn't run with a big hunk of meat in her mouth. She decided to play it cool.
"Hey," she said, acting as if she hadn't just been caught red handed. She was going to try and pass herself off as a new member of the pack. If that didn't work, she'd have to run.
Zephyr hadn't noticed the other wolf at first. She'd still been lost in thought, her feet on auto-pilot, until she eventually caught sight of the intruder and snapped out of her state. She picked up the pace and headed toward the other wolf, trying to catch a scent or any telltale signs as to whether they belonged to The Sunspire or not.
When she had neared enough to communicate with the other, Zeph was not sure how to react. She was still not very well-established into her pack, so she wasn't entirely sure if she had the authority to take action and chase this wolf off. Plus, what if she was from her own pack? After all, this wolf had just greeted her and didn't look as though she'd done anything wrong.
Zephyr decided to just handle the situation with caution. "Hello." Silently, she was praying that her poor social skills wouldn't make her look weak in front of a possible enemy. She made sure to stand with good posture, an erect tail, and she tried to appear as though she were curious and a bit agitated, but nothing more. "Who are you?"
