mm chili :P

With winds coasting along her back, the svelte creature had made quite a good headway due south. With the coastal rainforests of her pack far gone, the land of Teekon was her new oyster. And with sterling mountains and pine forests rising to her left and rumbling seas on her right, Tethys was poised to crack it open.

Late mid-morning had brought the lean heiress along the white sanded beaches of Sequoia, muzzle blasted by the constant shift of ocean winds. Her pelt was used to the harsh, salty air. The windy roughness of the atmosphere had removed most of the coarse hairs along Tethy's scruff, and her pescetarian diet provided rich oils to her shiny cloak. The female had taken on the appearance of a stray raven's feather loping down the shoreline. She had stopped at the appearance of maroon marring the beach beneath her toes, and Tethys breathed in the scent of seal. Fresh. Mixed with wolf. But the promise of food was alluring, and the ebony wolf strode forward, following the trail. She almost burst out laughing at the figure who was dragging the pinneped cub down the shores. Tethys had never seen such a comical sight- a tiny half-breed dragging a baby seal with great difficulty. Although the cubs were large, it did not take that much effort as this female was expending. With a jaunty pace and tail swinging high, Tethys drew closer.

Need any help with that? she called out in a lilting yet pointed bark, her paws dancing along the sand. Tethys was not one for challenging anyone or anything physically, but she was confident that this runtish looking wolf was no match for her.
