Greatwater Lake on the verge of the rest of my life

Quip didn't expect him to shout toward the nearby mountains, nor for the echo to work from this distance. Her brows rose as he did and his voice echoed faintly back to him. It was impossible to tell from all the way over here but the vixen guessed that he was young and rather good at keeping himself entertained.

"You should go up in the mountains!" she suggested via a shout, then lapsed into silence, letting the message carry across the lake.

It was time to get going now. Although she didn't mind the wolf—and he clearly posed no threat—she was eating for up to twelve right now and Quip could feel the hunger gnawing at her belly. There would be plenty of prey out on the plains. She licked her lips at the thought.

"I have to be going now," she called to the black wolf with green eyes. They hadn't exchanged names, which was just fine with her. "Take care, Echo!" Her eyes twinkled as she shot him a last glance and then spun, bounding away rather gracefully despite her belly heavy with kits.
