Iktome Plains i have broken my vow to deborah

for @Haven <3

exploration drove lasher aside from his intended home -- a stretch of grassy plain expanded where the shore's sands thinned into cold-worn grass, and here the man trudged, breath rising in a plume that was torn into shards by an icy wind rising from the ocean. his murkwater eyes searched the land, but no sign of life did he see, and this intrigued him.

at length, a vole scampered between his paws, and the wolf gave playful chase, exhibiting a sort of candor not usually displayed in his careful frame. he chased the small rodent some ways, though his intention was neither harm nor murder.
