Swiftcurrent Creek from out of the smoke

The young wolf had lost track of how far she'd traveled. She'd been driven by her curiosity to explore her surroundings, though the creek she found herself by was a few days travel from where she'd started. Her brown coat stuck out against the grey of the stones around her. She looked down at the water and bent to drink.
She lifted her head to check her surroundings, though she should've done this before drinking. Noticing the almost red coat of another animal, she tried to focuse on them to see what they would do.
