Blackfoot Forest bird song

Atka blankly stared in response before exhaling with a soft laugh, her tense posture finally relaxing once she picked up on the wolf's pleasant tone and wave of her tail.

❝Heph,❞ She said, trying out the name with a smirk, her gaze softly settling on the wolf. ❝I like fair lady, but sadly I go by Atka.❞

Atka's gaze didn't falter as she observed Heph, her medium build and dark coat. She felt comfortable in her presence, unlike what she was expecting in her encounters with strangers. Taking a few reluctant steps forward she committed to closing the distance between them, still leaving a comfortable space. She silently prayed she wouldn't alarm the wolf, though she knew she posed little threat.

❝I'm embarrassed you saw that...❞ She said with a brow quirked.

❝Wouldn't have been much of a meal anyways, running down a hare is more my style.❞ Atka giggled before continuing, ❝You know where an easier meal would be around here?❞
