She was itching again, but no amount of rubbing against trees or rolling in the snow could fix this sort of thing. This thing nipped at her paws and said move. Do Something. She was getting more and more pent up inside, and again the agouti woman breached the borders to relieve her tension and clear her head. This heat thing was much more of a pain in the neck than the others had made it seem. She didn't want to feel so on edge. It was a chore just to keep her worries and anxiety under control on most normal days. Given, it was much easier as of late with the good that had happened, but still.
The Queen left with only some general idea of how to spend her time. Really, whatever appeared before her as useful would do, be it tracking or just scouting in general. As luck would have it, the pungent scent of food hit her full force only minutes into the journey. The agouti-pelted female paused; nose quivering with interest. Whatever it was, it was most certainly dead. If any meat could be salvaged, it was a great boon to the pack, but she wasn't about to go running toward it all alone. For all Raela knew the killer was still there, or maybe other creatures with the same idea that she had. The scent had to be from something sizable, so without further delay she veered around; breaking into an easy lope toward home.
The increased activity channeled her energy away from agitation and into something productive, and it already felt much better. Having so much stamina was now almost a burden; it made getting this thing out all the harder. The matriarch cleared the small creek near the southern border in a single bound. She remembered crossing Zilas' trail on the way out, and if she was lucky the pale man was still around. Whether on patrol or some other endeavor, she found it once more. Her mouth already parted from panting, Raela sent up a call. It was quieter, asking for him specifically without bothering the others; hopefully. She didn't want anyone sprinting across the territory just for a scavenging trip. It was a good opportunity to get to know Gent's right paw a little better one on one; a good idea all around.
