Emberwood I put the pedal to the floor

He hoped that Spring's warmth would come soon. To be rid of the cool wind, and the snow underfoot would be a blessing. He promised himself this year that he would not take the summer months for granted; they'd create caches where prey could be stored, and fatten themselves up as much as possible for winter. 

He still had a bit of weight left to put back on, but had begun to look significantly more like himself now than he had a few months ago. And now, when he saw a stranger wandering in the distance, he did not immediately cower or try to slip away. He tested the air; she smelled free of disease, and as though she was on her own- so he told himself this wasn't a threat. This was potentially someone who could help make the pack stronger. He had to have that mindset if he wanted Arcana to grow, and he really didn't want to let Fennec down. 

They had yet to establish what their border protocol was but Bronco was an innately kind wolf, and uttered a quiet chuff to get her attention, hopefully without surprising her, and kept his expression calm but friendly as he approached.
