Blacktail Deer Plateau rude awakening [m]

Fox stared blankly at the other female who greeted her as Ghostface. Apparently, Peregrine had thought it fit to tell the entire pack about her presence here. So much for laying low. The yearling merely grunted in response, not really in a talking mood, and wondering if the other girl would take the hint. After a few more paces, it seemed obvious that Ghostface was doing no such thing, and instead insisted on following her.

Fortunately for the girl, Fox didn't have any more fight left in her. She only wanted to find some water, some food, and @Peregrine. Surely he could not have gone far. Then again, should she really be expecting him to tend to her? She was a rival, for gods' sake, and he was basically allowing her comforts he would allow a fellow pack-mate. Not just that, but a really close pack-mate.
