Emberwood time traveler

They'd barely had time to begin marking the boundaries on the place they'd chosen, but Fennec knew that she'd be walking the territory endlessly regardless. Relocating was always difficult for her, even when she loved the location they chose. It would take her time before she knew the place like she'd known the Caldera.

She could have easily grabbed Fig and forced him to be her guide, but right now it made more sense for them all to split and cover more ground. Might be faster, she thought wryly, slowly making her way between a thicker portion of the forest along the outer edge. She really didn't feel like busting her nose today.

Her ears flicked as she sensed something moving slightly nearby. In a default reaction, her fur lifted, but this place wasn't nearly settled enough for her to come out swinging. They sounded bigger, but they weren't coming at her. You a friend or an enemy? She called out, and her expression shifted slightly towards a smile despite her wariness. Imagine if they just... said enemy?
