ooo i'm gonna say this is before she heads back to the coastline, too :D

In these unfamiliar stretches of land, she found much to take in. Her senses buzzed, borderline overwhelmed, as she took in all she could. Sights, sounds, smells, energies, she eagerly read all she could in her short time passing through... despite knowing that to truly understand, it may take longer than her existence would provide.

Her paws traveled alongside the creek as it wove its path across the landscapes. There were parts of it that were small, nearly entirely iced over on the surface while in others, it was much wider. Amekaze had passed several other paths that she considered only briefly. Somehow, this creek kept her interests fairly well. She did not truly see why yet and decided that perhaps, the energies thrummed at just the right frequency to keep her around. She always did seem to prefer the vibe of waterways, even ones as unassuming as a meager creek.

The further she trekked, the thicker the foliage became. There were portions of the land where walking in the cold creek proved easiest, so she found herself with an increasingly damp legs and underbelly. She pressured on until she encountered a bizarre scent.. one rather floral in nature? Yet here, in the deep of winter, she considered this implausible. Her nostrils flared, eager to take in this aroma that reminded her so very much of springtime.

With the scent of a wolf mingled into the area she knew better than to pass up what could prove to be interesting. Now she moved with more purpose, snaking through the trees once more with fluid grace, akin to the waters themselves.

Admittedly, she spotted the tree first. It was hard to overlook, here in bloom in what was otherwise copse of trees just on the verge of new life. Her eyes narrowed upward. Flowers, here? The visage of the wolf came soon after -- a being marked in varied shades. Amekaze fanned back her ears and then forced her focus upon the other wolf, finding them to be a presence worth acknowledging first. The tree was not going anywhere, nor could it really do anything to her, unlike the unknown wolf. Certainly, an unexpected find, she remarked coolly. Amekaze maintained her distance, a keen eye and a neutral, calm look about her still. I have never traveled this path before. It seems it was worthwhile, she almost smirked.
