open but attn @Lorcan
The day was bitterly cold, but its bite did not reach past her thick winter furs. Tikigâk lumbered through the tall trees, traveling in from the far North. For some time, the only thing within eyesight was the open horizon and the creatures that existed in it. If she were not of the mountains herself, she might have believed the world was entirely flat.
The forest was quiet, the winds here a quiet whisper in comparison to the howling ones of the tundra. Tikigâk sniffed at the earth for evidence of any others nearby, and then her nose lifted to the air as she sought the scent of an abandoned meal to scavenge. An ear rotated backward as snow fell from the bough of a tree onto the earth, but when no other sound accompanied it that same ear swiveled forward once again.
She caught a whiff of old meat, and followed her nose toward it. Her movements were slow, cautious—aware that she might not be the only hungry animal seeking an easy meal.
