Whitefish River hit the sunroof

Liri was patrolling, a task that wasn't usually exciting given that they were well away from other packs and she never found any sign of danger. She preferred it this way, she'd take safe and placid if that meant the Plateau remained solely their own. 

By midday, as she came upon the cliff overlooking the Flatlands, she'd concluded that the territory was safe and decided to explore the footpaths a little better. She could see where some footpaths dissapeared into the grasslands of Kintla - her head involuntarily turned south towards the pack that had held her captive so many years ago. The fae shuddered, shaking her head to clear it of the dark memories. 

The sprite descended, her gait somewhat short and hopping given how steep the path was, her bad leg aching by the time she reached the bottom. 

Nose low to the ground, she set off down the game trail with only the whispering grass for company. 

Liri could not say how long she followed the path nor where exactly it was going - once swallowed by the grass she could only see what was immediately around her, more grass and blue sky above.

In time, her pale ears stood up alertly at the rush of a river but she had to follow the path a ways longer before reaching the source of the noise.

Finally, the grass thinned and parted to reveal the edge of the Whitefish River. 

Liri approached, not daring enough to move too close to the fast water's edge. Her gaze was drawn upwards, by what she didn't know (perhaps a flicker of his golden coat in movement off to her left) suddenly and she nearly snarled at the sight of the stranger - out of surprise more than anger.

Despite visibly startling, she managed to keep herself in check and dipped her head to the male cautiously. She chuffed softly in greeting, waiting for him to speak first.

She's long since learned to be wary of strangers, particularly those in the Flatlands, but she's not quite afraid of the golden male. She no longer fears anyone, not when the scariest monsters are found in her past.
