Blacktail Deer Plateau Hide Away

My apologies as well!

She couldn't seem to find a vantage with the wind, slight as the breeze proved to be, so Nanook took up a quick pace and arched around the other wolf with the plan to avoid them altogether. There remained a part of her that wanted to know if this was the dark man she had seen before, but caution erred her away and she dared not approach to find out.

The youth kept watch between her projected path and the dark wolf, and she made good progress until one of the late spring bugs, of a count higher than usual, tickled past her nose. Nanook felt a tingle along the bridge of her snout, and her eyes watered. A flush of panic rushed through her chest, and she drew in a sharp and ragged breath to stop the tingle from progressing. To her relief, the tingle faded, and she darted a look toward the stranger, who seemed to have stopped. But no sooner did she turn her eyes toward the bright horizon than her nose zinged again and the stalled sneeze ripped from her chest and broke the silence of the Plateau, and whatever hope she'd wished to steal away in ghosted silence.
