Blacktail Deer Plateau In the Morning

Hawkeye laughed in delight at her daughter courageously running into the water. It seemed like her children, and surrogate children, were everything she focused on lately, but they brought joy to her.

The large black wolf laughed some more as Osprey took to swimming quite quickly. She hesitated a moment when Osprey began to choke, but smiled once more when her offspring recovered and seemed to enjoy the water thoroughly. Hawkeye ran circles around the pup, sloshing water. She realized this could make her daughter choke once more, so she stopped and watch.

After she seemed to become tired, Hawkeye looked around, then down at the small girl. "Let's head home, little one. Maybe we'll find a snack on the way." Hawkeye lifted herself from the watering hole, wetness pouring from her body. The beast shook her huge body, sending droplets flying everywhere.
