Firestone Hot Springs Expanding the horizons

For Raissa

FitzDutiful was expanding his boundaries today. It was the first day, since joining Blacktail Deer Plateau, that he was making his way outside of the pack lands and into the wild. He had no idea what the other wolves in this area were like for all he had encountered was his pack mates.

Today, his destination was south of his pack lands, towards the thing he'd heard called Hot Springs. Apparently they were rumoured to be quite good and so that was the destination he'd headed in the morning. Now, approaching midday after a rather casual stroll, he arrived.

As soon as he got closer the heat hit him and caused him to flinch before accepting the new humid environment and moving onwards, deeper into the lands. Coming across one of the pools of water he cautiously dipped a toe in. While being too hot to drink it was quite pleasant against his fur. Too cautious to enter wholly, FitzDutiful was content to rotate his front paws in their dips into the water, while keeping a eye out for any other wolves that may be approaching.
