Hoshor Plains she was beautiful, but nothing really was there

@Lucy - set after he finds out relmyna is FAT!!!

the bison were disinterested in his presence - they eyed him with their black piggish eyes, long lashes blinking blandly over their liquid surface. he drifted between their herd like a transient shadow: they knew him to be too small, and alone -- neither of which presented as a threat.

he carried past them silently and made for the knoll to the northeast. the scent of marmot trailed out before him and he paused to scratch at the snow where the scent was most evident. small tracks interrupted the ground, and led to a burrow at the apex of the knoll's steep face. the male positioned himself upwind of the hole and watched hungrily in the hopes his quarry would resurface soon.
