The sea called to her with a siren's song, but it did nothing to soothe her foul mood. It had hung over her like a cloud ever since Hawkeye had suggested she had some sort of personal connection with Sos, and though it wasn't jealousy — after all, Sos was a god, not her personal friend or mate or anything silly like that, and she couldn't possess him any more than she could claim he possessed her — it was certainly something. Primarily, it was frustration, that a wolf would go from calling her delusional one moment to suddenly claiming to understand... What? Everything she had called Jinx delusional for?
Ever since that encounter, Jinx had been unable to shake off her flaring temper. She had returned to Horizon Ridge and curled up in the roots of a sequoia, fuming, to catch a few hours of sleep. When she awoke, it was already dusk, her stomach was rumbling unpleasantly, but her temper had not abated.
Instead of heading down toward the sea to try to scrounge up some aquatic dinner from the tide pools, Jinx began the arduous climb through the slanted rainforest to Horizon Ridge's namesake: the plateau that looked out across the ocean, where surely Akhlut had howled from. She had yet to come across her Alpha — her seeking him with Kisu the day they had collected the white oak had turned out to be fruitless — but she had a certain picture of her standards in her head. Perhaps it was these standards that ultimately kept her from seeking him out; what if she discovered he was small, and unfit for his role?
The primal Jinx would feel the need to yank that role from him, but the concept of leading another group of heathens made her stomach roil with disgust. No; her focus was now on her religion, on pleasing Sos, and her own survival. With two unpleasant encounters with two unpleasant wolves out of the way, the Kesuk knew she would finally have time to relax, and that was her intent when she finally crested the hill and saw that brilliant ridge for the first time.
The sight was breathtaking, but minimized by her foul mood. Rather than enjoying the spectacle of the sea spread out in the colours of sunset, Jinx began the task of locating food, hoping that from this height she would be able to spot anything moving below so she could attempt to find it.
