Firestone Hot Springs a strange respite from the cold

It had been a while since she'd left the Great Bear Wilderness- but even as a soon-to-be pack wolf, she just couldn't stay cooped up in the Gorge. Too boring, despite the paradise of a place it was. Journeying was her thing since that one fiery night months ago. She wasn't going to give it up just cause she was a Beta-to-be in a pack-to-be. Mara was probably okay with her exploring, right? And so she left. The sound of gurgling water baited her to the the Hot Springs. She wasn't sure what to expect of this place. Her green eyes flickered over to sounds of lapping- a dark male was drinking the water, a small jay next to him. And when she saw his eyes... She completely fell in love. It was so hot, those bi colored eyes on a dark man like that. When he smirked and swatted at the jay, she didn't stop to question why he wouldn't eat the little thing. She couldn't stand around watching any longer. So she came out of the undergrowth towards the springs. She kept a few feet away in respect, even though she wanted to go right up to him. Even though he was a lot older than her, she couldn't resist his handsome appearance. "Hello, Sir... What's your name?" She asked. Runt told herself she needed to be perfect. Therefore she needed to carefully phrase her words and keep her accent out of her voice... And go by a better name... And say she was at least a year... She could pass for a year, right? Maybe? ...Man, being perfect was hard.
