While there was a touch of novelty in the idea of meandering without due cause, she was quickly growing wary of it. Without a purpose and an actual trail to give her something to zero in on, she couldn't help but wonder if this would all be for nothing. All there had been so far was an unclear set of tracks, cougar prints, and a touch of Ferdie to suggest his involvement somehow. It hadn't even gone this way for sure yet she was running out of directions to go and places to look that were even remotely in reasonable traveling distance from the Sunspire. And as their newly fledged Alpha through no one's choice but her own, how far could she afford to roam?
Her ears were slicked back although eyes sharp as her footfalls kept going through the wooded glen. She moved a little faster when she began to scent another. Unfamiliar, but there was something about it that she almost recognized -- just enough to give curiosity a place to start. It certainly wasn't Ferdie or any cougar, but she could do well to think about something else. She guided her path closer, tracking the scarce scents, until she spotted a fellow dark wolf.
It did not yet dawn on her the smaller wolf's ties to Tartok. Ame's last brief interaction with them was so far removed from her focus that the notion did not occur. She chuffed softly and slid closer with long strides, all while silently trying to discern her fellow's doings here. Perhaps they were not so different from her own.
