Swiftcurrent Creek Walking In The Air

It was not unusual for Kaskara to take an evening walk. That's what she was doing that evening, enjoying the last rays of sunshine as the sun descended into the western horizon. The chocolate-colored female moved along the creek's bank, enjoying the quite time to herself. It was chilly, but not unbearably cold, and she was glad for a moment to think about everything going on in her life.

She was planning on going with Falwasi and Kieran to Duskfire Glacier early next week, though the preparations had taken longer because she had fallen sick after her return from Ankyra Sound. It had just been a seasonal cold, but it had exhausted her enough to keep her confined. Now that she felt better, she was building up her strength for the long journey. Ahead she noticed a dark wolf emerging from the water, his fur clinging to his lean body. Kaskara studied him carefully, wondering if this was the male her brother had mentioned briefly the other day. She couldn't remember his name, so she interrupted his fixation on his chest with a greeting bark.

"Hello," she called softly as she approached him. "I'd shake some of that out before you catch a cold."
