Swiftcurrent Creek v-neck sweater

Maybe one of you newbies can hop in?

Hecarim seemed to have disappeared from the creek, leaving Fox feeling disappointed in him. It meant that still nobody had taken her message to Perry, but at this point it didn't really matter. The time had come and gone, and Fox figured that if it had not happened by now, it was fate. Or something equally ridiculous. Truth be told, Fox did not believe in fate. She believed in the random way of the world, since that was how it had always been to her. One moment she was a fresh yearling, the next she had claimed leadership over the creek. It was a whirlwind of a time, but she did not dislike the chaos, exactly.

Jinx had been oddly absent, especially considering her appointed role. It caused Fox to wonder what the girl was up to, though considering how avoidant she had been, it was impossible to ask the Kesuk. Her scent was still thick around the creek, so the yearling had no cause to believe her Beta had left her... and yet her behavior did seem strange in some way. Perhaps they were simply missing one another. Whatever the reason, Fox made no move to try and find out what was going on.

As the light rain fell around her, Fox thought of Tuwawi and Njal and the young they would bring into the world this season. She was strangely excited by the thought, though she could not explain why. She certainly did envy that she was not old enough to pass on her legacy, but Fox also knew that her time would come.

Shuffling toward the creek at a leisurely trot, Fox fully expected to run into one of her comrades along the way.
