Phoenix Maplewood white winter hymnal

chucking this guy in here if thats okay with you! <3

Barrett roamed further from the valley today, patrolling, scouting, following the scents of prey and predator alike. Snow was falling, now, blanketing the ground in a thick layer of white, and Barrett let the coolness of it sink past his thick pelt and settle, deep, into his skin.
He moved towards the maplewood, where Sega had found him a mere few days ago, and trudged through snowfall with large, brown paws. His tail swayed softly behind him, flicking up pale spray as he went. Here, as he approached the trees, a scent rode towards him. Fresh and clear. That of a stranger, and so Barrett would investigate.
Moved to follow the scent. Let a low chuff leave his lips, announcing his presence, as he drew closer. Eventually, his gaze fell upon a dark-furred figure taking respite beneath an oak. She was akin in size to himself, to the band chief that he had only just thought of prior. He ensured a respectable distance was kept between both himself and the night-pelted stranger.
It was now that he spoke: Howdy, there, giving a forwards nod.
