Swiftcurrent Creek by jove

With Scimitar rallying a group together to search one last time for Star, Kaskara doubled her patrols on the border. That meant that she circled Swiftcurrent four times a day now, which left little in the way of social interaction. She would hunt occasionally, if prey present itself, or talk with others along her route, but usually she didn't see another friendly face for hours at a time.

So when she happened upon the coyote, standing far from the border, Kaskara paused and studied the smaller creature with interest. She had never seen a coyote balk at a border before. They usually cared little for wolf territories and would barge in whenever they felt the need, and would be swiftly driven out accordingly. But this one was different.

After a long moment, Kaskara closed the distance between them, pausing along the scent border to give both of them plenty of space. She didn't want to frighten the animal into a frenzy, nor did she want to scare her away. Kas was intrigued, to say the least. Her two-toned eyes looked over the girl, for that's what the scent on the wind told her, and asked, "How can I help you?"
