Moonspear Catch and release

She didn't really want to be a Naturalist anymore and she wasn't cut out to be a Warrior (or so it felt lately). Now that she was coming up on adulthood—and the completion of her apprenticeships—it seemed like a good time to really reevaluate and make sure she was pursuing (a) profession(s) that suited her. She knew she wanted to be an Outrider but shouldn't she at least have two...? Or was that a silly standard? Perhaps she should talk to Charon or Ame, get a feel for their expectations on the matter.

In the meantime, maybe she should dabble in some of the other trades. If she wasn't fit to be a Warrior, then Warden wouldn't make much sense either. She knew nothing about medicine (despite her sister's passion), so Healer was out too. And she wasn't particularly creative most of the time, nor did she know her pack's history, so she wouldn't make the best Chronicler either. That left Gamekeeper, Caretaker and Counselor; all three of them were distinct possibilities.

Today she decided to focus on the former. She threaded down the mountainside and began skulking through the thick forest at its base, combing the leaf-littered terrain for scents of prey. She had never considered herself particularly gifted at hunting, though it was a skill all wolves possessed. Perhaps if she really put some effort into it, she could become a master, like her father. That thought made Wildfire's lips twitch into a wistful smile.

I was hoping for someone she hasn't met yet: @Dash, @Jura, @Izo or @Aran? (I avoided tagging those on absence since I don't want to be obnoxious but they're welcome as well!) :)
