Greatwater Lake spice and wolf

@Wildfire

a herd of elk had drawn lasher from the borders -- he had remained close for some time, shaken by the recent storm, as well as saena's announcement. his mornings had been tinged with pain, as of late -- his right shoulder had stiffened. making a mental note to ask blue willow for a remedy, the earthen beta contorted himself into a series of long stretches along the lakeshore, keeping his murkwater eyes trained upon the herd.

a bull and five cows, the grouping also included half-grown calves. altogether too much for him to attempt, lasher intended nevertheless to mark their progress. the man waded into the shallows and lapped briefly at the clear liquid, allowing himself a long moment of relaxation.
