Dawnlark Plains manifestation

The woman came to a lurching halt as her speed petered out, dropping from her all-out gallop to a canter, a walk, and then stagnation. Her tail whisked the air behind her; she pawed at the snow directly in front with one hoof, exposing some green, and even bent down to sniff at the patch for a moment - perhaps tempted to eat. Breath poured from her in waves, and there was a fine steam rising off of her hide as her sweat met the air. A simple moment.

A moment which ended as the breeze shifted, carrying a brief scent of wolf across to her, before shifting again in Reiko's favor. It was enough to cause Taima's head to raise and ears to pivot, alert, bright-eyed, but not afraid. She pawed one last time at the snow before crushing the green underhoof, and with a grunt began to survey her surroundings. 

She would not linger long in one place. Despite having worked her body over with her run, she was not about to be set upon by predators and so she started to march again. This time she did a tight circle, tucking her chin and hitching her step, only to stop mid-crescent. She could not see the wolf but she knew it was out there.
