Verdant Basin conditions of existence

Hope you don't mind me slipping Laika in here <3

The silver queen slipped silently through the barren landscape, dodging the dead twigs and rocks that were scatter around the basin. Her graceful movements made it easy to do this. Her blue eyes glanced around at the large basin and the landscape around her. Her eyes caught movement a ways away, but she was close enough to identify the figure as a wolf. It seemed to have jumped for a bird -- one of the last ones around here -- and failed. 

Always willing to help, the Silver Creek delta turned in that direction. Maybe this wolf didn't know about fishing, or maybe they didn't know how to fish. Either way, Laika was willing to teach them how because at the moment, it was the most efficient way to stay alive whether anyone liked it or not. She poised herself in a dominant but non-threatening position as she walked forward, tail high.
