Blacktail Deer Plateau You've been blessed your whole life

I'm acting like the pack hunt was more recent than its timestamp just to keep my timeline straight!

With the sun burning brightly overhead, the day was still young, but Saena drifted sleepily through the forest in search of a place to rest. Headaches still plagued her from the concussion, though it was mostly remedied, and the reminder of the hunt was enough to make her grit her teeth so hard it hurt. Having spent a good deal of time away from the territory lately, the aspiring Blacktail felt bad... but she also felt exhausted and worn down, and knew sooner or later she would need to face them.

Because, of course, she'd failed to hear any of the discussion following Koda's "leave it to the men" comment at the pack hunt. She'd blatantly avoided them all, wrongly and foolishly assuming that they agreed with Koda but never said it to her face. Of course, that couldn't be further from the truth, but such was the nature of teenage dramatics. She hadn't left all of them behind just yet.

Pressing her flank against the dry trunk of a tree, she twisted her ears back and surveyed the area.
