Sunspire Mountains Meet Cadeau

Talos's paws were toughening up, and her muscles bulking out, with all the lone wandering she'd been doing. She'd had a lucky find that morning of some big cat's leftovers that she wasn't too proud to scrounge, though she made tracks out of there once she was done gorging. On impulse she had headed toward the peaks she'd never before climbed. Proudly she noted that while her limbs felt the strain of the ever-more-uphill climb, they didn't complain about it overmuch. Tail flagging high, Talos pushed herself intently onward, wanting to see what the view from the top of the next hill looked like.

Before she'd got there, however, she met a stranger coming down the hill. A somewhat extra-strange-looking stranger with sharp markings Talos had never seen on anywolf before. Talos craned her sturdy neck out to get a better sniff, and was surprised at the sudden covetous pang she felt within—it had been awhile since she had spent overmuch time with other wolves, and though she didn't really want to admit it Talos was starting to feel kinda lonely. Hey! she called out. Who're you and how come you're all the way up here?
