Iktome Plains Slow down: Just be happy and nothing more

After hours of dark, somber wandering they had finally found a place of golden Apricity.....the sun peeked through the clouds upon the plains stretching out before them in a way that seemed endless. The sight was more than welcomed and Vida was quick to stride out into the patchy tussock smiling and exhaling an audible sigh of relief once they felt the golden light of the sun fall upon the fur along his spine, a shiver running through his limbs. There was nothing wrong with a good run through the forest but they hated being surrounded by trees for longer than a day...there was something about it that left them feeling caged in. The plains? Wide open spaces where he could run for hours on end, places where rabbits burrowed and could be spooked out or if patient caught popping out of....these places where heaven to them. Lifting their muzzle to the air to catch a whiff of the breeze they found their paws slowing to a halt, the breeze smelled of the Ocean though Vee couldn't see any ocean nor hear the sound of waves from where they stood. The more the breeze was sniffed at the more they became certain the sea was nearby and their heart set to thumping heavily inside their chest at the thought, something they'd only gotten to see once before in their puphood but never again. 


Without a goal set out to strive for anything was on the table, life was ruled by whim for the wolfdog and as such they figured finding their way toward the Ocean was the next step. The world had a plan to sidetrack them first with a rustling in the distance to their right, a glance bringing their attention to a dusky brown hare darting out of a hole. Immediately their ears perked and tail flagged behind them instinct sending them into the chase if not to catch up and take the bunny down, then to enjoy the sensation of running behind such a fleet-flooted animal which in itself was something not every wolf could say they could do.
