sucks to be you

A call rang out. Short. Sweet. He recognized the voice. Nanuk was back. He dropped everything and ventured towards their borders. Had she found something on her adventures that she needed help with? He hoped so. Their caches needed lots of restocking. A worthy kill would be smiled upon right about now. Truth be told, he wasn't sure how she might have managed such a thing on her own, but she'd encountered a number of loners here and there who were always willing to help for a solid meal.

Somewhat eager now that he was certain of her reason for lingering on the borders, hastened his step and descended their precarious mountain. Even with a bit of speed, he was still slowed by the jagged slopes, but all in all he made good time and neared her location.

"Nanuk! You're back," he greeted, a wag in his tail that faltered only for a moment when he realized she didn't have anything with her, but he was pleased to see her all the same. He was going a bit stir crazy in his head, so it was nice to have a familiar face worth talking to once more. "Have fun out there?"
