hehe gotcha... but yeah no it's AW :) :) :)

The only thing Elk didn't do with expedience was Decide Things, at least when his interests were divided so evenly. He had come from a high place, and so the mountain pack seemed ideal. Yet the valley and the sea were newer and more interesting — shouldn't he broaden his horizons?

He might've dithered a long while if a voice hadn't called out to him. The young man's head swung in the direction of the call, and his black-tipped tail whisked in pleased introduction. Thus commanded, Elk set off in her direction, his head still held high and proud but bright inquiry in his youthful gaze. He approached a woman of a similar height to his own, carrying similar hues in her pelt as well, though she was not so charcoal-smudged as he. A find specimen — but of the wrong gender for his mission.

The herald supposed his mission could wait.

Elk bowed low to the woman, his nose sweeping the ground. When he stood straight, it was without his burden, and he was free to speak to her. He said,

"Hey."

"Are you from around here?"
