Horizon Ridge the top of the world

i am so excited omg

Things were back to being good with Elwood. Their last conversation had been fun and friendly and had ended with Fin walking away feeling warm and fluttery and happier than she had been in a while.

Which of course meant she needed to make a run for it.

The responsibility of being a beta kept her tied to the Teekon Wilds, which was fortunate because (whether she truly realized it or not) she was quickly getting to the point in the relationship where it was time to put a continent between the two of them. It was her love and loyalty to Peregrine and Fox that held her tight where she belonged. But that didn't mean she didn't still have a responsibility to perform her appointed trade, however.

So, there she was, in the dead of Winter, miles and miles away from the Caldera for..... Hm. Well, she hadn't come up with an excuse yet. She supposed that she would need to stop by some pack or another and have a quick chat with them just so that she could say it was an outrider thing. For now though, she was content to simply wander through the trees and gaze out at the ocean that crested the horizon.

Finley wasn't certain how many hour had passed before her meandering thoughts made a sudden beeline towards an unexpected voice that bounced faintly to her ears. She canted her head and picked up her pace, curiosity drawing the path that lead her straight to the freckled youth. She watched him silently for a moment, wondering at how such a young wolf was off on his own. She was reminded a little of herself... Only this pup wasn't eagerly making friends with wolverines or bear cubs, so clearly they had their differences...

"Hey, small pox!" she barked at him after a few minutes, trotting steadily towards him. There had to be somewhere he belonged and she had a feeling it probably wasn't to the deep cliff they were precariously near to.
