Silver Creek First Sight

Sunspot whisked her tail, glad to have found a hunting partner, and began to lead the way - away from the creek. In its frozen state, it was neither safe to hang around nor an attractive haunt for the prey they were seeking. Their best bet would be the pack's hunting ground, but Sunspot did not feel like travelling all that way.

So she headed into the nearest woods, thinking that a few fat rabbits might hit the spot even if they didn't find the large game they were looking for her.

Soon enough, though, Sunspot's nose detected a hint of ungulate wafting toward them on the wind. She stopped in her tracks, lips curling to reveal spotted black-and-pink gums as she lifted her nose to the sky.

"Smell that?" she asked Skylaris, keeping her voice soft and low so that they wouldn't scare off the deer, should it be nearby.
