Blackfoot Forest bird song

Heph fixed the body of the rabbit half beneath her paws and tore half away with her teeth, throwing half to Atka's paws and using her own molars to sheer away the meat that she had selected into bit sized chunks. It felt good to fill her stomach and tasted even better. She was a bit surprised at the invitation, but answered quickly, too excited by the prospect to pass it up. Her smile was wide but genuine as she answered "I'd like that." Her tail swished across the ground in answer to the thumping of the ground. She had no idea where she was going next but she enjoyed this company far more than she had any other that she had come across. While experience taught Heph that wolves changed, that even packs and family who promised they would remain together would eventually disperse leaving her to go in search of nothing on her own, but while she had the chance, while it did not hurt and her heart beat a little faster but in a good way, she found it hard to let go of that.

Her tone turned a bit teasing, light and airy, the fun of the encounter all the more solid and the potential open now that they had spoken their plans. "They must either have bad taste or were flustered by your charm." Heph stretched out beneath the sun-dappled trees, relaxed, sated, but also pleased and a bit excited. This wolf made her feel safe, not because she was not capable herself, but because she seemed friendly and put her at ease in a way that Heph had not felt in awhile. "Did you have anywhere in mind? With such beautiful company I'll hardly care to notice the scenery." Her mind turned over the possibilities. They could head north towards the coast and perhaps be there in time for the colder weather when the ice might make Atka barely visible but for her eyes, they could go west towards the mountains and perhaps try their luck chasing the wily creatures capable of surviving the treacherous rocky landscapes, east where Heph thought she remembered wide open plains where there would hopefully be plenty more rabbits and maybe some other creatures, she was not sure what there was South but with fall coming that might be good as well.

I'd be down for any direction, Heph hasn't closely explored many places in Teekon!
