Grezig was patrolling, as usual. She’d found herself becoming less active than normal, which concerned her, and she hoped she was not becoming sick. Autumn was not the time for less activity. Winter was coming and the pack needed enough food to get through it. So, she shook herself out of her nap and forced herself to go on patrol today. She found herself at the river, and turned to stare up at the Plateau behind her. She wondered about Kavik and their somewhat awkward conversation a few days ago. She wondered when, if ever, they would speak to Liri about it. 

Grezig caught a washed-out scent of wolf, only strong because the wolf in question was still here. She turned to face forward again and followed the river towards the scent until she came across a grey-furred female, crouching in the grasses. Deer up ahead. The Beta crouched also, but chuffed quietly to let the other know she was there.

The grey female requested that they hunt together, and that she get her fair share of meat if they did so. Grezig hesitated. This herd of deer technically belonged to the Plateau (as much as any animal could belong to any other animal, that is), but they were not on pack lands. Technically, anyone could hunt these deer, since they were grazing on neutral territory. Grezig gave a small grunt of assent. “Fine.” She opened her mouth to give orders, and then stopped, thinking. Their pack could still use more numbers, and perhaps this woman could be brought back with Grezig after this hunt. If she could prove she knew what she was doing, anyways. “How do you want to go about this?” she asked, giving the other a chance to shine.

But instead of saying anything, the female suddenly decided she didn't want to go hunting and left. Grezig snorted and watched in mild annoyance as the female disappeared, then she turned and headed back to the Plateau.
