King Elk Forest i dig till my shovel tells a secret

@Vex Cruor and anyone else who might like to join!

When she wasn't exploring the riches of the Summit, Taktuq set herself to work. Unbeknownst to her, she acted much like her mother before her and took to the outskirts of their new claim to secure their boundaries, to set markers in place, to deter any dangerous and unwanted company. Yet she did so differently than her mother all the same. Where Nanook had patrolled in icy silence, Taktuq scouted with effervescence, as though dancing with the Northern Lights even in the light of day.

Today she scouted past their borders towards a curious and growing scent from beyond the field at the Summit's southern reach. Neighbours, perhaps. New and settling ones, just like themselves. She drew forward with caution, despite the lofty strides of her long and limber legs, and paused to examine one of the scents at the forest's outer reaches.

Examined, but did not intrude.

And with the decisive stride of her mother, Taktuq threw back her head and howled for the wolves who settled here.
