Greatwater Lake If you let them make you, they'll make you papier-mâché

for @Aldric <3

The freezing water almost made him forget about yet another frustrating attempt to find prey. He had searched for hours, his efforts producing only one small vole. He had tried to hunt it anyway, if only to return to the group with something, but the earth had quaked and protested in the middle of his attempt, sufficiently scaring away the first prey he had found in days. He was a patient man, but that had tested even him. So he had sought out the water, not wanting to bother @Eleni, especially with nothing to offer for dinner. 

The night air was brisk, and his breath came out in white puffs as he made his way from the water and shook out his coat. He wanted to dry off some before heading back, so he took a seat at the water's edge and watched it ripple around his front paws.
