Kintla Flatlands Taking a Break

[size=x-small]@Vector, others are welcome to join in as well. :)[/size]

Reclining on his back in a steamy hot pool, using a rock as a cushion to keep his head from slipping under water, Koda was a picture of relaxation. The warm water soothed his aching joints and muscles, particularly his sore paws, which were worn out after carrying him day and night for weeks. This was the first time he'd been able to get a decent rest since arriving in the area. The wolves of Blacktail Deer Plateau had been keeping him very busy with hunting trips and fishing lessons.

The sound of foot steps nearby stirred the wolf from his relaxed state. His yellow eyes fluttered open as he sat up on his rump with a reluctant groan. He looked in the direction of the sound, fully expecting to see a Blacktail wolf approaching, probably to ask for another favor.
