Quote: I'm surprised that nobody had suggested that I'm a spy yet, Willowsong thought, wrinkling her snout. After a few moments, the white she-wolf smelled the air. "Eck," she mumbled under her breath. "They smell!"
Wildfire grinned and pelted into the woods, motioning for Zero to follow him.
"I can hear you." Senkah didn't even bother to tear her confident gaze away from the mountains.
Zero sprinted after him, but hung back a bit. She sniffed the air on occasion, and glanced at her surroundings. She wanted to trust this wolf... but she couldn't just yet. Willowsong lowered her head as she felt her cheeks grow warm.
Wildfire appeared out of rustling undergrowth, a freshly killed hare dangling from his jaws. "Here," he said with a warm, sincere smile, "take it. It was killed right out, too."
(It was DONE. Now it's Better Dig Two)
Senkah swished her tail, but otherwise, there was no sign of her irritation. She picked her way up the mountain; the ground was rocky and hard, and there were many sharp stones. But, as she'd grown up here and lived here her whole life, Senkah's pads were tough and callused.
Zero blinked with surprise. Maybe this wolf wasn't as bad as he'd seemed when she first met him. "Thank you." She managed a small, but genuine smile as she gently took its foot in her jaws. She took a bite out of its belly, and wolfed it down. Her previous distrust was slipping away, bit by bit.
