Alpine Lake here she comes and then she's gone again

she sets back her hind leg and finds the grip easily enough. she waits a moment for the burning ache in her back leg to subside and begins to back down. she's cautious, but the going is certainly much easier now that she's unstuck. eventually, she reached and earlier ledge she knew to be wide enough to allow her to turn around, and set eyes on the man up close for the first time. 

"they must all be much better climbers than me," she offers with a grin, tail wafting at her hocks. "I'm Vuk, by the way." she tells him further, hoping he'll supply a name as well so she won't have to refer to him as the dude in her mind.
