Shadewood Arriving to new lands

Although she didn’t let down her guard, the apology shifted the dynamic. Now Masquerade did come closer, though not to heckle the other she-wolf. She still had every intention of escorting her from Shadewood, though now it seemed a proper conversation might spring up between them.

Once? she repeated, sensing a story there and wondering if the stranger was willing to share. What are you looking for?

For the first time since deciding she would stake a claim with Riley and deciding the where, Masquerade began to think of the who. They would hopefully bring offspring into the world sometime later in the season but both their pups and their foundation could use some extra support.

She chewed the inside of her cheek as they continued toward the southern edge of Shadewood, eyes assessing the other she-wolf in a new light.
