Several things had kept Fox from interacting with the pack as of late. There had been the departure of Wildfire. There had been the chance of pregnancy (which had, thankfully, not taken). There had been the lingering sinus infection that had kept her down for at least two weeks.

Now, though, Fox was finally feeling herself again. She had awoken this morning feeling better than she had in at least two turns of the moon. Her grey eyes were more alive than they'd been in months. Her ears were pricked forward and listening to the world around her. Peregrine had left the rendezvous site already, presumably to go off hunting or guarding or whatever it was he did these days. Fox felt out of the loop, but she wanted to jump right back in now that she was back on her feet.

First stop: the top of her home, the lake that gave this place its name. Once there, she gazed out over the water for a moment before taking a long cool drink of the water.
