The water running around her legs and brushing her belly did little to cool her off. Figuratively speaking. Her heat made her itch uncomfortably, and she didn't know how the hell it was possible to deal with it like this. How did anyone manage the discomfort all damn season? A low growl resonated in her throat as her ears flattened to her head. And for a moment, she thought about just plunging deeper into the river. But that would have been a foolish idea. With the thaw of winter, the water would be deeper and stronger around this time, and she wasn't in the mood to drown. Frowning as she snapped her teeth for a second, she exhaled as she tried to figure out a way to relieve her discomfort. A herb maybe? Something more physical? Running? She was at a complete loss.

Turning her head, sharp yellow gaze stared at him, tail tip lashing slightly. "What do you want?" She questioned. She had caught the faintest trace of what she could swear was a pack, and all she could think was who on earth would take in this strange man?
