Porcupine Ridge Kate Spade

She would've spoken words though the half-parted jaws on her face, but Capriccio spoke first. Perhaps that was better, and Jhala really wasn't sure what to say. Her body language, at least, shared what she wanted to say. Her head was lowered and her ears down, tail wagging slowly behind her. Jhala did not understand the word 'heat', it made no sense to her that the alpha would be upset about that. She did however understand what it meant that Taggarik had chosen her, and the girl gave a gentle whine right away. 

A distraction. The other nodded, understanding. Anwyl had disappeared from the pack, leaving Jhala to feel the same way. Perhaps it bothered her less than it should've- or maybe more. She wasn't even sure if Capri and Tagg knew that she had begun to get close to Anwyl, or if they even cared. Regardless, she gave a slight smile to her superior and raised her head slightly.

"I'm trackin' deer," she told her simply, nodding towards where she was headed. "It should be two, they're not too far off now." The thought of a hunting partner made her spirits rise a little bit. "It's distracting me," she added finally, cocking her head to one side.
