Neverwinter Forest callorhinus

Maybe @Fallen Sun if you'd like a little thread outside of the village? Open otherwise!

Having crossed from one forest to another now, Sulukinak found herself surrounded by trees but not so claustrophobic. Here was a younger forest. The salt of the sea wind did not permeate as far as this, so traces of the familiar ocean aroma were thin; but she liked it all the same.

She snaked between the trees with her head down, nose inches from the floor. Many wolf-scents crossed her path and each time she found it, she would deviate in her path out of habit. It wasn't that she was shy, exactly; her mother had never let Sulukinak or her siblings near any of the visitors of her home island, and it felt right to keep away.

Finally she struck gold—so to speak—as her nearness startled a small white-furred thing from hiding. It shot off among the ferns and the movement made her attention snap along with it; pulling her in to a sprint as Sulukinak eagerly sought dinner for herself.
