Blacktail Deer Plateau yellow cake

For @Finley.

Fox had said a quick goodbye to Peregrine before heading out for the day. He was often interacting with his children (not to mention Lasher), and Fox did not wish to intrude. If she could have had her way, she would have him all to herself, but the girl knew that was unrealistic. Besides, there were plenty of wolves here that she had yet to meet, and she was eager to show them that she was meant for leadership. To them, she was untested and new, but Fox had spent nearly half a year at the head of the creek, and she had done them well (in her eyes).

In a small, sunny clearing, Fox peered about herself to see if there was anything out of place visually. Concluding that there was not, she moved forward through the elbow-high grasses and toward the wooded area on the other side. She had gotten almost all the way across when a rabbit decided to notice her and went darting off into the forest. Startled, Fox jumped backward, but calmed herself once she realized it was nothing more than a bunny.
