Porcupine Ridge Oreos and milk

@Takeshi


Lokie had wanted to explore a bit, so he headed up the mountains after passing Sheepeater Cliffs. Plus, the smell of pack borders had come upon him suddenly, and he needed to change his course anyways. Porcupine Ridge looked a little insane from a distance, but he headed to check it out anyways. 

Surprisingly, it held some nice little secrets inside it's jutting rocks. He found some crisp cool water to drink from, the likes of he had never tasted before. It wasn't full of fish, or their waste, and it wasn't muddy. The rocks had made a nice wall between the liquid and soil. There were also little patches of trees, and he decided to take shelter under them, hiding out from the light rain.

After being healed up (details vague as Takeshi's writer needs to make the thread), Shi had begun his journey homeward. He hadn't meant for the excursion to last so long... and Reiko's pups were likely due any day now. The blooming father did not want to miss their birth, and so his stormy eyes set themselves on the Vale, pace somewhat heightened. 

He scaled the ridge with practiced ease, having had experience climbing up and down the thing many times in hunting trips. But now his worry made him reckless, and often stones would clatter down from high distances as he shakily made his way upwards. A grove of trees caught his attention then, and he collapsed beside one, worn and still nursing his fresh wounds. Only after curling up at the base of one did he notice the stranger rather nearby, and he offered a quiet chuff, a friendly hello to distract himself.
