Phoenix Maplewood bad chick

I was a little late on the border party so I figured I'd snag this one. :]

She'd not been present for the altercation, but @Nochtli had filled her in on the incident. The idea of coyotes as surrogate pack members disgruntled her. She was already bending her desires by being around so many males. Allowing a couple of scoundrel children into their lands seemed like a mistake, but the will of the Alpha pair surpassed her own. Needless to say, she was not in the best of moods over it, but as she had yet to encounter one of the tawny coy-pups she could pretend they didn't exist.

Citali rose early in the morning. With the autumn still in its early stages the heat of the waning summer filled the afternoons. She preferred tending her garden in the morning before the day grew too hot to tend the portions of her garden that preferred full sun. Having just risen, she drifted through the silver mists and sought the nearby river so she might wake herself more completely.

With her terrible sense of direction and the addition of fog clouding her senses, she missed the river all together. She found herself somewhere else entirely. How she confused a puddle for a larger water source was beyond her comprehension, but it didn't matter. She'd found one of the things she'd hoped to avoid all together. From the looks of it, it was the coy-pup who'd been involved with the stranger on their borders.

She said nothing and instead lingered in the mists, staring at it as if the child would somehow disappear.
