Tuktu Hinterlands sometimes i feel you pull away from me

anathi's head immediately perked from the greenery he'd repurposed as a pillow. beneath the reach of the aspen, the ground was relatively clear, which made sleeping in the cold more doable. there weren't a lot of passerbys in these parts, so when he heard the exclamation of another, it came as a surprise.

upon closer inspection (and a very rude glance), he could tell that this was another female. did they just not bear males in the wilds? whatever. in anathi's mind, it just made for a larger selection of potential mates.

still lying down, though now in a lounging position, he chuffed and waited for a response.
