Redtail Rise six weeks, five days

@Augur ! @Thursday Evening welcome, too <3 

New Snow woke and emerged from the den, playfully nipping the hindquarters of her two cubs. The winds of change were in the crisp air; today, she would range with them further from the whelping den in an effort to aid them in gathering their bearings. It was not yet time to move to the rendezvous, though that would come soon enough. She hoped they would finish their weaning sooner than that.

With or without her young in tow, New Snow found the scent of her mate and decided to follow it for a time. There were plenty of eyes to watch the children beyond her own, and they were at the age where they could be left alone; she was only vaguely aware that there had been even more young to come into the fold since last she ran with the pack.

She hoped to hunt nearby, and did not intend to take long. An ear backturned as she listened for the sound of her young, all while her nose worked to differentiate preyscent from that of her mates latest trail.
