his fur ruffled as he rolled his shoulders, trying to get an edge off the coldness that enveloped him. winter was the same every year, but this one felt especially bad. maybe it was just that this winter was spent scrambling to form a pack and gain resources. or maybe the stench of the famine that still lingered. plus, it was breeding season already, which was alarming to terance, who felt like his litter had hardly even been weaned. but he supposed it'd been a while. either way, this winter was certainly sneaking up on him... and it didn't seem to be ebbing. 

he continued through the territory.

the sound of a lonely howl, desperate, grabbed him by the scruff. he paused as he stood to identify it, deciding the voice was not one he knew. but still, terance tilted back his head and howled back to the voice. i'm here, wait. and then, he padded towards it. it wasn't too far...
