Bramblepoint dissolve, and make your heart proud

for my own timeline purposes, set after her one with aeronwyn in the flatlands but before the prey op thread

The afternoon spun onward and temperatures climbed steadily up and further still, with a mugginess almost befitting midsummer to come with it that bogged down the very air. She had already turned her pathway back towards the towering Spear, so there was nothing else to be done about it as she delved into the relative cover of the Bramblewood.

On the whole, her short stint of travels were not wasted. Not overly fruitful either. She'd done just about as well as she would have on a normal day hunting small game on the mountainside, but it had encouraged her to see the plantlife attempting to regrow as far as the flatlands. Plus, stretching her legs had felt good and she had been entertained.. but she worried what the extra energy expenditure may cost her in the long run. As with all things, there were two sides of it.

She did catch herself reflecting on the white female more than once, however. Amekaze licked her lips at the thought of her and wondered if that may be the only time she'd see her. Far too often, that was the case when she found wolves like that. But maybe it would be different. Although she didn't have a good explanation for why she felt that way, other than she wanted to interact with her again in the way she had before -- with teeth.

She was distracted from dwelling on this by realizing the subtle scent of rain beginning to tint the breeze. Meanwhile, underfoot, she picked up a rabbit's trail. She followed it almost out of obligation.
