For a hungering beast, she made delicate but effective work of the small kill, despite its leanness and meager meats. It had been an easy catch so she had no complaints. She picked away until it was only bones left, which she would bury nearby, and for the time, satisfaction was felt instead of tiresome hunger.
Yet, despite the contentedness, she would not let the warm steam and full belly lull her senses entirely. She listened keenly then breathed deep; she was not alone here.
Which was of little surprise. This place was a welcome reprieve from winter's cold, a natural oasis here to warm the bones at the very least.. Amekaze had it marked as one of her favorite places after all. A rare distinction for someone so choosy. Nevertheless, she lurked closer until the other female was found.
The dark-furred loner regarded her from a distance. She was a wolf dressed in tan, with pleasant red accenting in a manner different from many she saw, and finally, a body of more considerable bulk than the body Amekaze boasted yet of similar wear -- a fellow loner, perhaps? The scent of her meal tickled her nose and had she not just eaten herself, might have inspired something more foul. Amekaze greeted her with cool neutrality. A low chuff and a pointed look, then a pause that allowed her to react -- which would dictate her own next move.
Her green eyes were sharpened, although subtly alight with curiosity in the presence of new, strange company. Nearly the same reasons has brought them together (seemingly, a meal and the comfort of the springs), so Amekaze would investigate while the chance was here.
