Under the Trees

Unlike Mara, Sidewinder was making no effort to meet his pack-mates. He had met and spoken with Mordecai, had brief interactions with a couple of others, but beyond that, the Numitor male had kept to himself. He ate from their caches, but did not refill them. So far, nobody had said a word about it to him. While others patrolled the borders and honed in their skills, he lazed about, occasionally trying to pry information out of those who lived here about his white-eyed "brother."

Curiosity got the better of him when he heard a rustling nearby, though, and Winder jogged toward the noise with a smidge of interest. When he broke from the trees into the sandy hollow, he noted the petite girl who had so graciously greeted him upon his arrival in Ouroboros Spine. Reclining, he sat back to watch her antics, a faint smile lifting the corners of his mouth. He figured she would see him sooner or later, but for now, he would simply enjoy the view.
