She covered ground at ease, steadily nearing their borderlands but there was no rush in her gait, either. The mountainside was satisfying underfoot and she slowly gained speed. This, only proved to make the moments that followed more interesting.
Her attention jolted from the scenery, first towards a yelp and then to a flash of reddish furs coming right at her -- and seemingly out of nowhere, too. Ears pricked and eyes wide, she had been mid stride with far too much momentum to make for fine adjustments. With the slope of the mountain only adding power to her speed, she balked, awkwardly, as soon as one front paw came back to the ground. Adjusting course may not be enough and she was moving along far too well.
Once both of her hind feet hit the dirt, she launched herself up, over (hopefully) the skidding coywolf. Although she intended to tuck her legs close, there was not much time or space to do so, and any clipping of her limbs on the smaller wolf's body was expected. It was an awkward, half-dodge, half-leap that was far from graceful, but certainly less troublesome than a full on collision of bodies.
She held her breath, a gasp having been her last thing she'd managed, and waited until she too came crashing back down to the leaf-littered earth. Stopping and panting, she turned her sights onto the vaguely familiar coywolf curiously. It served for an interesting greeting and her tail picked up a slow, small wag as she looked to ensure the other Sunspire female was alright before going any further.
