Judging from the dark and speckled sky, it was well past her bedtime but the young Thanne was restless. It often happened when her stomach jumbled and jarred from hunger and her paws ached from endless travel without reward, but on most nights she could calm herself down long enough to rest. Today was different simply because her body refused to settle down to rest, no matter how many positions she twisted and turned into therefore she lifted onto stiff legs for a leisurely walk, content to wander the shadows alone.
Pale light bounced off her pelt, giving the illusion of a ghost walking the night life in search of innocent souls to torment, but Rory was far from a pack and any souls wandering around at this time of night were probably as restless as she was. She could only hope so much; company had come few and far between lately. When she heard a sound in the distance she paused, searching the land for any movement and upon seeing non continued on, her mind a jumbled mess.
She was beginning to grow more accustomed to her acentric and elaborate ideas, they often involved finding food in the grand scheme of things but on occasion she thought of the wolves she’d met so far and her heart would leap with excitement. She wondered if they thought of her, or whether she’d made enough of an impression that they even considered meeting with her again at all, it was quite the idea but then again, it was much too far-fetched for her to believe. She was a lone wolf, a creature without a home and a job to set her apart from the many who thought to stick it out in the wild before finding a pack to settle into so what made her so special. She couldn’t decide.
Her paws began to ache once more and she settled onto her haunches with a sigh, lifting her paws and shaking them in hopes to relieve some tension, in the background she heard the call of an owl and ducked just quick enough to witness it swoop down over her head and grab a mouse in its enormous claws. Lucky for her, she was much too large to be owl food, but the event reminded her that she wasn’t quite invincible considering the many nocturnal predators that lived in the lore and she continued on, albeit much slower. No destination in mind, she had wandered far from her resting spot but she hardly minded, it was probably well overdue for her to move on anyway.
