Alpine Lake Into the wild blue yonder

It was her ears that caught the sounds of a slow approach though she didn't quite bother to look up yet. Whoever it was paused and she slowly lifted her eyes only, studying what she thought to be a male seeming to hesitate on whether or not to approach the lake. It was a nuetral territory, did he think she would chase him off from a drink? She snorted softly and lowered her gaze again, continuing her slow drinking. To drink freezing water too quickly was asking for pain. The sound of ice cracking made her lift her head and she failed to hold back a laugh as the other snorted, apparently having splattered himself with the frigid water. She cleared her throat and looked away trying to pretend she wasn't laughing at the other wolf.
