Emberwood it will finish you if you stop

Fennec had not quite gotten the hang of the woods yet, but she was learning. She could travel through a bit faster and with more confidence than she'd had a week ago, but it would take another few weeks before she'd gotten a real feel for it.

The borders were maybe her best known place. She crossed them more than Bronco did, but they both had spent a good deal of time marking off their claim.

But today, when she arrived, she caught the fresh scent of someone she hadn't met yet. It was so tempting to jump on her like she was doing something wrong, just to see if she had a sense of humor, but Fennec withheld temptation. No use scaring off recruits before they'd even really found their feet.

Hey! Mind waiting up? Fennec called when she cocked her ear and determined she'd gotten close enough. You're... Ingrid, right? Bronco had met her a while ago, apparently, and she'd decided to rejoin them now. Let's see what you found, she thought, waiting for a response as she took a careful step forward.
