Swiftcurrent Creek Stuck in the background

unsure where this thread is taking place-- aria wouldn't be near the pups, but closer to the edge of the territory on her way to patrol. i can change / delete ~

aria had taken a robin-- such a strange thing to find in a cache, as they were typically food for smaller, more lithe creatures-- and eaten it for her breakfast. she tried not to take so much, or to at least catch her own meals if she could. but some weeks were harder than others, and a small snack was enough to hold her over until she could catch something bigger for herself.

she crossed through the territory, on her way to the borders to patrol or perhaps seek out scent trails, spotting a tawny colored wolf in her path. aria slowed her pace to view her, letting out a soft chuff of greeting. passively, if anything, unless the other stopped her. aria knew what wolves were saying, what they were saying about her, and she didn't want to be stared down like the home wrecker everyone probably thought she was.
