For the weeks since joining, she had forced herself to stay in the creek's territory. To integrate, to become one with their lot and their lands, but today, for morale, she had decided. Being so entrenched in pack had been taxing, so she felt a little break could not hurt. Besides, she would still be busy even as she roved abroad in solitude.
She was curious of the status of one of her favorite old haunts: Totoka River. Namely how the fishing and traffic fared there now that summer was approaching swiftly, for this was her first shift of warm seasons to experience here along the seaside.
The impact of the weather could be seen deep into nature's facets, and she listened sharply for the thrums of its energy. Ame had been able to foster her interest in it again now that she was less concerned with survival as a loner, but so far it was only in small doses. Her focus was still on betterment, and finding her own personal balance amongst the proud wolves of Swiftcurrent. It had to be so.
With the scent of sea long gone from her wild furs, she secretly hungered to taste them again. However, she did not intend to go all the way to the shore. Not today, and not alone with her health just beginning to quiver towards a hopeful upswing. Already subtly she could taste them... and she breathed deep, then let the rhythm of her stride gain up with the river her travels had sought.
And she was not alone. A dark wolf, poised in hunt over the river's surface was spotted. She slowed delicately and slunk closer fluidly, intensely watchful and all the more mindful when she caught whiff of his scent. Not of her pack and thus, potential enemy despite the twinge of curiosity she felt at watching his motions yield a fish. She kept her ears tall and regarded him with a low chuff.. from a distance.
