Blacktail Deer Plateau Shine your light on everything

For once, Saena's wandering through the forest was neither pointless nor focused. She'd finished her hunting for the day in the early hours when prey was asleep and unsuspecting, and her thoughts were sharp and clear. She didn't even think about her dreams and how she hadn't had them in quite some time, and how she was slacking as a Naturalist in favour of providing meat for the pack and Blue Willow. Normally, her mind would've been buzzing with these things and ways to fix them, if only to fix her own failures... but today she was on a mission.

It didn't take long to find the wolf she was after. For a moment she lingered with a look of disapproval—who had time to lie around like that, she critically asked herself—but she knew she had to swallow her pride down. If she didn't, Dante would never let her redeem herself. As much as she suddenly and wrongfully believed the Alpha male was playing favourites, she had to be in his good books for what she wanted.

So she stepped forward and, without waiting to be acknowledged and mostly without making any attempt at eye contact, quickly said, "I've come to apologize."
