Porcupine Ridge i don't see how you can hate from our side of the club

for my light <3 hoping @Jinx doesn't mind Raheerah catching her scent!

For a very brief moment, the beast had taken his companion outside of the borders of the Vale to explore the nearby ridges that loomed treacherously over the valley. He had always spied them on his routes and curiosity had overcome the male; not that he would openly admit it. Curiosity was naive and childish, youthful and foolish - of which Raheerah was none. But he imagined that the ridge would provide quite an astounding view of the valley, possibly well enough to serve as a lookout point for scouts. What also held his concern was its availability to outsiders. The ridge would produce an excellent view of the valley, yes, but it was not patrolled. That view could easily be held by anybody not belonging to the Vale.

It was for that reason he had pulled Xi'nuata away from the Vale, so that they could explore and judge the usefulness of this ridge as a potential lookout point for scouts. Raheerah himself didn't mind having to make the trek every now and then, but he wanted to gauge how easily the mountain wolves could traverse its steep slopes. He figured his companion would find greater ease in exploring them, for Raheerah himself was large and bulky, and his paws were clumsy.

They moved side by side; the sun was lingering just above the horizon as morning blanketed the valley in a warm golden light. The pair was following a path wound into the mountainside that would take them to the ridge that overlooked the valley, though it was still a good ten minute hike away. Raheerah's heavy steps were accentuated by a gruff grunt and his tail swung slowly behind him. His single eye wide and weary, taking note of their surroundings, but it was his nose that captured an interesting aspect of the ridge. Detecting a peculiar and familiar stench, Raheerah paused and dropped his nose to the ground. A rumble exited his throat as he glanced back up at Xi'nuata. He could remember this smell - it belonged to the white female that had overstepped their borders, and a variation of it was carried by the white male Raheerah had discovered not long after. The female had been here recently.
