Overture Downs momentum for the sake of momentum

For @Riordan & @Luke, but also open for anyone else. :D

Early into the day, but past sunrise, Mordecai had gathered a couple of able bodies had set out for the open expanse of terrain before the hollow. When the wolves had originally past through the countryside, he could not help but notice the hoof tracks mingling. And with their most recent hunt an exceeding failure, it seemed proper that they scouted for something a little better. Plus it wouldn't have hurt to take stock of the herds that they would have some privy to.

His eyes scanned through the haze of the morning as they climbed a small rise, and he brought himself to pause at the crest. The view was pleasant and to him, just a touch promising. Hopefully here they'd have the opportunity to track the herds that were loose in that part of the valley, and hopefully, they'd be able to thin their ranks here and there without driving them away. Or alternatively, driving them too far out of reach into the claim of another pack.

Wordlessly, he looked to his companions with a quirky smile, and started off again.
