Jade Fern Grove and keeping everything down to a minimum

after offering valette the news, she'd headed north from the packlands. the sky above was a looming grey, and now and again distant whispers of the storm to come rumbled their warning. it was still a little while off, but Dawn knew that she had little time to find a meal before prey would seemingly vanish from sight as the storm rolled in. thoughtful a moment, and after deciding that she no longer wished to be alone with her thoughts and that a hunting partner would only improve her chances, she let out a summoning cry for another to join her in the hunt. 

of what, she did not know, but the glade she found herself in was promising. ferns in dozens of subtle green shades blanketed the ground, and the trees were spaced widely enough that a chase after some ground animal would not be too difficult. there was dried rabbit scat near where she stood, and she brushed her muzzle over it without expecting to find a trail fresh enough to follow, and finding none. but where there was one, there was surely more, and so the sterling huntress waited for the hopeful arrival of another.
