Already she had attempted to achieve the mindset she would need to face winter at full power, but beneath dreary skies and with her breath clouding the air, she was struggling still. The troublesome hunger of this exact moment was not helping any either. In fact, she felt it was serving as the biggest distraction of them all and it was quickly feeding a growing frustration -- the only thing being fed right now as her tracking remained fruitless.
She still had to find her path, wherever it may be, and now, winter was just going to make that all the more difficult. In remembering her sister (and mother also) so sorrowfully, she was coming to realize how lonely she was as of lately too. Interactions with other wolves were few, like with Koontz and Vehiron, yet each had served their purpose. Even still, she had yet to feel the definite pull to join a pack and have those interactions on the regular. The idea seemed overwhelming when she thought about it. She would wait. For now.
She turned her eyes skyward to the silhouette of a bird while still trotting along, although slower now as she observed. Squinting, she identified it as magpie but uncharacteristically spared little time on the airborne corvid; her focus was meant to be on tracking. There was no time for admiring a bird, unless that bird was to be food. But her attention was quick to be drawn elsewhere. She spied another heading her way and Amekaze kept moving as well, bringing them steadily closer with curiosity brimming.
Ame lifted her head and narrowed her eyes, finding herself perplexed by the wolf's markings that she had first thought she had seen wrong. But no, she was.. oddly shaded, certainly, and unlike any she'd met before. However, her posture was her neutral guarded stance as she drew to a slow stop.
Hello,
Amekaze breathed in reply and noted the name and.. what she guessed was either a place or a pack or some sort of clan perhaps. Bon Dye?
she repeated in question and settled her watchful eyes on the mottled female. The unnatural words were very awkward on her tongue and she paired that with a subtle frown. I was hoping to track then hunt..
she trailed off and squared her paws. Obviously enough that had not panned out as she had planned. I am Ame.
She had yet to introduce herself in full to anyone. So far, it had never been necessary.
