Duck Lake zero hour, nine am

her hunting trip takes her further from Easthollow's border's than she's ventured before, but the lack of prey demands it. already, she'd had some luck, and sated her own hunger. it is Minnow, and the rest of Easthollow that she hunts for now. her trail leads her towards the lake she remembers to be one of her best hunting grounds, the trip made easier by the warmth of the meal in her stomach. 

the lake is still, devoid of the usual raucous calls that summer brings. it is in the stillness that she begins to navigate the lakeshore, keenly aware of the place she'd last seen Aditya.
