Duck Lake follow the leader

Of course! I'm going to try and keep my post length a bit short if that's ok with you :)

Impending rain threatened the valley as rolling clouds obscured the sun and skulked across the sky. Tuwawi outpaced their slow crawl as she swiftly crossed Wapun Meadow back into the heart of Swiftcurrent, eager to curl up in the Sveijarn burrow with the kids to wait out the storm. However, a fleeting interest to take the path nearest to Duck Lake suddenly found her fancy, and the ember skirted around the East border towards the body of water.

However, she had not anticipated her detour to be more than an uneventful scout. An idle body by the shore captured the sanguine she-wolf's attention; a man she did not know. Though her ties to the creek pack were loosening, Tuwawi would defend it as long as her children and husband slept within Swiftcurrent's heart. The bordering territory, duck lake, was no exception.

She made herself known with a lofty stance and swishing tail, still a league away. "A storm's rolling in," she announced to the enigmatic wolf, breaking the ice by testing whether he intended to outpace the gale.
