Kildeer Rest otter boy

k'edghildza moved through the snow in silence, her pale form blending into the frozen expanse like a wraith. the scent hit her first—sun eater. familiar, strong, woven into the boy’s pelt. her ears flicked forward, and she halted briefly, her sharp eyes narrowing as they locked onto the young figure sprawled in the snow.

his son? she murmured under her breath, the words curling softly into the cold air.

she advanced cautiously, her movements deliberate and measured. her slender frame slipped through the drifts with feline grace, leaving barely a trace behind her. the boy was young, almost too young to be out here alone, and the thought settled uneasily in her chest.
