The same as he was, she remained adrift in this wilderness. She had yet to settle down anywhere but that was because she was considering her options. Unless the matter was pressing, Keyni never did things in a hurry. Unlike the lone male roaming the same valley as her, she had been fortunate enough not to feel the constant pangs of hunger that came from living alone. Her belly was empty a little more often than she would've liked, but the tundra mix was still in reasonable body condition.
Out in the open, under an overcast spring sky, she followed a hunting trail through the grass down to a nearby stream. Her jade eyes flicked down, searching for any telltale signs of hoof prints or scat left by other animals. And she did see something...but it was the tracks of another wolf, not prey. Curious now, she looked ahead, easily picking out his dark body lingering by the water. Staring back at him was a protective mother goose, her young tucked close to her side. Approaching softly but clearly enough to be heard, she saw the yearning, hungry look in his eyes. "You wouldn't have a hope in hell with her on watch." She sternly stared down the mother. "They got a nasty temper to boot."
