Wapun Meadow There's ice in my water,

Looking to stumble upon pack wolves! Maybe someone from Ursus?

This barren field of dead grass and receding snow would've looked breathtaking in the spring -- though it was unfortunate that Ellie wouldn't be able to see what it looked like until then. Winter was still upon her and plagued these long travels.
She had not run into Ashlyn in some time and supposed having him around might've made things feel a little less lonely. He was the only friendly face she'd met here thus far. Then again, the young girl was optimistic she wouldn't have to depend on his company alone if she searched long enough -- and now that she had the freedom to, perhaps Eloise could even find herself a new home?
Or maybe...she was moving too fast with such a thought?
The brief thought had slipped her in the moments she'd begun sniffing the earth and digging vigorously against wet soil.
A rabbit burrow; she could smell it beneath her feet-!
