Adapting to the mountain would take time.

Tulukiri could have put forth a better effort on her end, but she struggled with the shift between the riverside and Moonglow as much as anyone else. How could she be expected to follow Kigipigak now? He had been her idol; now he was lost in a way Tulukiri could not fully comprehend. Something had changed in him when they'd left Natigvik. He was showing more weakness than she could accept.

Moonglow was behind her. She'd left in the early morning, citing to @Lestan that she would be surveying the area surrounding the village, yet her path drew further and further away. Perhaps I will find you new deer to watch, she'd told him.

The forest welcomed her. By midday Tulukiri was investigating scents and seeking signs of prey, oblivious to much of it. She had never been much of a tracker despite her bloodline being that of hunters; the girl had distanced herself so wholly from her parents by now that she couldn't tell if what she found was fox-scent or wolf.
