Golden Glade Running

Her frozen ears perked at the howl on the wind, and she rose from her crouched position. Having been on the prowl for anything to fill their meager caches. Question filled the air around her, who was calling? Not one of her own, she could tell by the tone. The unwillingly new Queen trudged through the thick snow headed for the border from which the call had sounded. 

Shalon hadn't expected to find a mother with her youngsters especially ones so young. She watched them with her frigid gaze for a moment hidden among the trees. When she deemed the surrounding safe enough venturing toward the mother giving a warning yet neutral chuff to the woman. Her tail held high and ears forward, she looked more intimidating than she really perhaps meant to be. The silver and tanned regent looked them over with an obvious eye. "Hello." Shalon stated blankly. "How can we help you today?" Her voice was one of neutrality. The mother before her was no threat, at least not now. She wasn't trespassing for which Shalon was grateful, and this gratitude was met with neutrality and openmindedness. 

sorry crumby phone post while at a work conference ?
