Phoenix Maplewood Rain or shine, snow or sleet.

If you've got time!

Lagging about a day behind the raiding party, Tavi felt a swell of happiness beneath her breast when she sighted the Maplewood. The rabbit haunch was still clutched in her mouth - but it had gone a little rank, unfortunately. The thought to find @Saena and present this to her was there, but that seemed like it would convey the wrong message. So instead, the girl dropped it on the ground along the outskirts of the pack, and picked the good bits off of it. The less than perfect chunks she placed carefully in a small, hastily made burrow. After covering this with a bit of soil using her snout as a shovel, she took a deep breath and began looking around for a replacement gift.

She sauntered between the trees, lingering along the western edge of the territory before choosing to delve a bit further out. Tavi headed towards the moraine -- but before she got very far, she spotted something. Something moved sharply through her vision and this caused her to react, instinct overwhelming, and she gave chase. A few minutes later, a small grouse hung loosely from her jaws. It wasn't such a grand prize - the plumage was quite bright, but the bird wasn't as plump as she'd have liked - and she sighed through it. Perhaps it would suffice.

Tavi headed back towards the packlands, crossing back over the invisible line, and began to search for the Alpha.
