Blackfoot Forest bird song

It was slightly strange to be making decisions again, purposefully but honestly Heph wandered with less reason than the wind, but was not opposed to giving herself some sort of direction just so that she did not end up going in circles. As she stayed in one place longer and longer she found herself wondering what more there was, unexplored nooks and crannies or expanses outwards. Smiling she took the West and North both into account. There was no need to rush and even if they took a more winding path and ended up in the Southeast she would be content. But at that moment instinct informed her and she spoke, the words rushing out in a large breath, careless yet grounded and honest, no deception or ulterior motive in the breath of them. "Let's split the difference and go northwest." Her eyes cast in that direction for a moment before alighting once more on Atka with a lightness in them.

Heph's gaze squinted slightly as Atka swiped at her muzzle. "At least until you tire of me." She teased, rolling over so that she could scoot closer to the other wolf, using her own tongue she attempted to clean off the blood. After her lean forward she let her posture relax back leaving a bit more space between them and her maw unintentionally curled wide into a yawn.

I'm good with continuing the thread or wrapping it up in the next few posts, but I might start making a few open and private threads to the northwest and tagging Atka if you're good with that or want to do the same?
