Big Salmon Lake in the corner with the scarlet letter

EXCITEMENTTTTT

Unaware that a storm was brewing far to their west, Mordecai continued his saunter through the shallows. The only thing that stopped him from going on too much further was the appearance of another wolf along the banks. She stood out from the lengthy grass, her coat muted against the yellowing greens. Looked friendly enough too, and he watched her as she watched him with remote interest. His steps gradually took him to her and he offered a friendly return of her words with a broad wave of his wet tail, not minding the slinging of water that followed it.

“It's warmer than it probably should be but… I'm not complaining.” If it wanted to stay that way for a while more, he wouldn't complain then either. Whatever staved off the winter, that seemed appropriately comfortable to deal with. Whatever stopped the herds from venturing out of their respective territories and into the great beyond was fine with him as well. “The water isn't too bad either, if you came looking to cool down a bit.” Offering her a smile, he gestured to the water to invite her in.
