Tabula Rasa
This was the first time she was traveling alone. Okami never did venture much from pack lands, but now that her sister Charm was gone, and the healer that had joined last season was absent, she decided to take it upon herself to try and figure something out. Course...she didn't tell her brother what she was up to, and normally she would. But she didn't want to bother him with something that might put more burden on his shoulders. The large girl walked towards the direction they had traveled from a couple seasons ago, the only land bridge that connected her land to the mainland. Auster seemed quiet, less inhabited compared to Boreas. Talis was the only pack there as far as she knew.
She flicked her ears with uncertainty as the water around her lapped at the sands. Bringing with it, shells and other bits of debris. Crabs scuttled away as she drew closer to them, but she only stopped a couple of times to watch as they dove back into the water or buried themselves in the sand. One crab decided to be bold and blew bubbles at her! This was a curious place, and she definitely wanted to get out and explore more after this.
The yearlings blue gaze soon picked out a faint shape ahead of her. Her eyesight wasn't the best, and with all the reflection of the sun on the sand and water around her, things appeared brighter to her, and it started to hurt her eyes some. She lowered her head closer to the ground and continued forward, whoever was up ahead she didn't know. The scent was unfamiliar, but maybe...that wolf could keep her company as she trekked across this sand bridge. If they were friendly, of course. The closer she got, she could pick out the scent of a female. Smaller than her too, that was for sure. Maybe she didn't have anything to worry about...as shy as she felt, she didn't really want to keep traveling this bridge on her own. "Um...e-excuse me!" Hm...she hadn't really thought beyond that. What else did she say? She hesitantly stopped where she was, squinting to better see who she had just bothered. |
