Dragoncrest Cliffs There's a rock in my paw..?

Staying beside the stream made the walk easy. There was food, fresh water, and Pepper even managed to find a few berries in the thicker parts of the woods. No more leech scares, either. 

They hadn't known where they were going, but the river continued to yield when the wind grew thick with the scent of many unfamiliar wolves, which could only be assumed to be a pack. It wasn't west, like he told Phobos, but if things worked out, Pepper intended to find him again. 

"Think we're close," the tawny wolf said after they'd walked for a while. The scent was strong enough--probably meant they were close enough to get attention. 

"You wanna call 'em?" 

He looked to the younger wolf, fully hoping she'd want to take the reigns. Pepper wasn't good at first impressions.
