Gave My Gun Away When It Was Loaded

This new land was strange, she'd decided. She had only just arrived, only just begun to explore, but everything was so diverse. Her old pack had been situated in lands that were largely uniform - large plains with sporadic groupings of trees, plentiful game with no variety. Here though... So far, Nati had crossed both deserts and plains and now found herself wandering through a march - and she'd only been on this continent a day.
She could smell it - there was another here. Not one who'd laid claim to the land, that she felt sure of. The scent was not strong enough, though it was disturbingly recent. She'd passed stale scents only so far, skirted the edges of pack lands, but not encountered a single wolf. She was torn here. Better to have someone to interrogate about this place, or to turn and continue on alone? She stood a moment, her eyes focusing on a colorful bird perched above her, before taking careful steps through the trees and toward the source.
Blue eyes found the form of a slightly larger female standing on the precipice of the cliff overlooking the sea. The female's head was turned downward, toward the churning waves. Nati stopped a few yards shy, narrowing her gaze. I'm guessing suicide? How weak, a part of her groaned in her mind. See if she is okay, another urged. "Are you going to jump?" was what she asked instead. She couldn't exactly walk away at this point, as surely the female would have noticed her already. Landing somewhere between her inner arguments seemed like the next best thing.
