Iktome Plains Slow down: Just be happy and nothing more

@Vida

The ivory wolf was not the only hunter wandering the plains. Dash often made visits to the lands surrounding the plateau, if only just to keep the ever-thickening border from closing in on him. He hadn't ever been much of a joiner, and the few times he had tried to settle down with a pack hadn't really worked out. The pledged wolves always seemed to tire of their efforts and move on... probably because they spent so much time marking borders, and so little time out in the world playing and exploring. All work and no play would burn a wolf out quickly, which was one of the reasons that Dash did his best to avoid work. It was his secret to staying young and energetic.  

Speaking of... 

Dash raised his head in curiosity as a white flash streaked across the plains. The stranger's pelt blended near-perfectly with the backdrop of snowmelt and dried grasses, and Dash hadn't seen him at all until he took off. Not that Dash was the most perceptive of wolves anyway. Dash trotted off after the stranger, following him at a much more laid-back pace. He would catch up eventually.
