Nova Peak Toquer

for @Lorcan and/or @Elowen

In a little while, spring will claim its own, and so too this newly bedded fold beneath the mountain. It is a good place for a den, the huntress surmises. The forest here is a thick caress and also the gentle wound of earth surrounding it. In close proximity is the lake where Ayovi had pulled the large spotted trout, now still at her paws. She remains a dozen steps down from the newcomers’ hollow, announcing her presence with a soft, feminine voice; careful to hide what eagerness plays truly in her heart.
