It's a long road

Tempest heard a loud chuff behind her and looked over her shoulder to see Bindi approaching. She flashed her a smile, but missed the chance to greet her when a voice sounded out from behind her.

"Is this your mountain?"

Tempest whirled and grimaced in pain as her wound stung briefly, only for a moment. She pushed her pain aside and eyed the young male, who's pelt was a whirlwind of color. She glanced briefly over her shoulder at Bindi before replying. "Yes. Our mountain." She narrowed her eyes at the male, not trusting him yet. So far, all her encounters with those of the opposite sex had gone very badly.

"Why do you ask?"

Her stance was uncertain, her voice slightly wary. If the intruder was female, she would have to problem communicating with her.
