Firestone Hot Springs we follow like alice

So, clearly she had been a little brash when she had proclaimed that it would only take her two weeks to explore the entire Kintla Flatlands. About a month had passed since Finley and her packmate had struck a deal, and while the Blackthorn was close to keep her end of the bargain, she definitely had a few more days of work ahead of her.

It seemed like exhaustion had nestled all the way into her bones. Fin couldn't help but release a pathetic whimper as she walked for it seemed like with each step, her muscles were getting more and more pissed off at her. She narrowed her eyes through the steam of the hot springs at where she thought the Plateau was. Maybe if she concentrated hard enough on being there she would just magically.. be there. She spent a few minutes trying, but finally gave up and flopped down onto her haunches.

Just a moment of rest and she'd be on her way again. Or... who was to say that the middle of a bunch of geysers wasn't a decent enough bed for her to settle down in for the night? Fin began weighing the positives against the negatives when suddenly she noticed that she was not alone. Intrigue took her and suddenly she was on her feet, aches and pains forgotten.

"What is it with men and these springs," Fin said as she approached the russet stranger through the thick mist, "I swear, I must be the only woman with enough balls to be able to stand the heat." Finley looked the young wolf up and down and grinned, not at all ungrateful regarding what she had said. After all, while she had never seen another female lurking amongst the hot springs before, she also had never seen an unattractive male here either. It was nice to see the streak wasn't to be broken today.
