Secluded Spring something meaty for the main course

“Kjors.” He debated sharing his last name. It would mean nothing to her. Ah, but there were unlikely to be any other wolves who shared the name in his forest, so the man left it there with a dip of his head. But she shared her pack, and the man supposed he should return the favor. After all, Morganna had been nothing but assistance, and she hadn’t tried to steal his original kill. Shifting his weight, he nodded over his shoulder towards the north. “Hearthwood River. Northeast, where th’ trees grow t’ th’ clouds.”

A few days travel in that direction, as well. He’d have to trace the spine of the world back north until he could cross over into the Snowmarch Expanse. Easier travel than trying to climb the mountain (and he was much less likely to run into that damnable mountain lion he and Karina had evaded so many months before). He huffed a sigh. “Best be goin’,” the wolf grumbled. “Gotta bring this home before trouble tests me again.”

The thought of offering a blessing crossed his mind, but he dismissed it as he leaned down to gather his prize back into his mouth, carrying in gingerly as he turned for home. It was going to be a long march.

@Morganna -- One more post from Morg and we can archive/claim this as a hunt. (:

Shallow water has trapped several fish in a small pond. Hunt Opportunity

As he indicated the direction from which he had come she realised just how little of the world she had seen. Having spent most of her life surrounded by squat willows the thought of trees growing tall enough to touch the trees left her eyes wide with wonder. "I might have ter check it out one day..." she offered, hopeful that she would have many years of travel afforded to her yet before her mother was willing to relinquish the leadership up to her oldest daughter. 


As he took his leave she nodded to show she had heard him, moving over to the bank of the spring to manage a quick drink before undertaking the lengthy journey home herself, only lengthened under the load of the gift she would be bringing back to @Elettra. Far more impressive surely Than any maowse her brother had presented.
