She didn’t notice the creature in the water at first. Redd had paused and sniffed it cautiously, testing before taking a drink. It was brackish but safe and better than nothing. It would be hard to find truly clear water in these wetlands.
The movement was what caught her eye first. Redd tensed rigid and stared, watching the ripples as she worked out what the threat might be. Or whether it was something worth hunting herself.
When it came into view it revealed itself as another wolf. The very thing she had been looking for, but without going the further step of sorting out what she might do once she found one. So she stood and she stared a while longer, tracking it’s progress warily as it climbed onto land.
