Stone Circle Bounded by pain

I 100% have time for you and Arlette <3

To say Oryx had withdrawn from most social contact would have been somewhat of an understatement. She lived tucked away in a little, shaded glen, where she lingered more often than not beneath a ledge formed by a rock which jutted out from the ground at an odd angle. It kept her dry, and she could blend in with the shadows well enough to go unnoticed by those who'd passed by in recent days, especially considering how much harder it was to track other wolves down with all the rainfall. 

But she'd made no attempt to hide her tracks, and while she didn't make it known that this little place was her dwelling, she was sure that some of her more observant packmates must have noticed that she hid herself away in this particular area. It touched her, then, to see Arlette approaching through the mist, something clutched in her mouth that was too small to be food. She thumped her tail against the ground and turned her face slightly to the side, flattening both her full ear and maneuvering the shredded base of the other so that it might not be so noticeable that she only had one. 

Silently, she rose, slightly, and moved to the side- creating a little bit of space next to her, so Arlette could join her in the shelter under the ledge, out of the rainfall.
