Whitebark Stream Doe, a deer

Chai is investigating the small group of deer in the southwest portion of the territory. For @Dawn, but others are welcome too!

She was still very much stuck in a rut. Negative emotions consumed her. Doubt, guilt, fear and most of all, a sense of worthlessness. But Chai had aligned herself with Bhediya and in doing so, with Whitebark Stream. She had to get back in the mix. Had to get over the hump of her psychological struggles and try to recover. She wasn't sure how she'd do it, but being useful seemed like a good start. It wasn't easy. It was with great effort that Chai pulled herself up out of bed that morning, her muscles burning in protest. Tracking...hunting, had always been a favorite pastime of hers. Though thin and still considerably weak, finding a promising scent trail and following it shouldn't prove difficult for her.

Dark nose down to the ground, plumes of smoke curling to vanish into the air, the warm toned wolf was engrossed. She had caught a scent after many long hours of meticulous searching. Deer. And not just a single animal, but several. The tip of her tail twitched, grazing her ankles, belying her excitement. It was a far cry from a herd, but it was something. Proceeding forward carefully, she began scanning for the telltale, delicate tracks awaiting her somewhere in the snow.
