Oh, Lonesome Me

Mara yawned, shuffling through the grass, unsure where she was going this time but glad to have finally escaped the persistent chill of the north. She'd been all over that frozen place, much to her dismay. In the process of escaping Velia she had failed to find any sign of her sibling, a real shame because her whole body was itching for the kinds of brawls that usually seemed to happen when she hung around him longer than a few minutes. Oh well, it was best not to concern herself. She'd surely find her own amusement for now if she kept up with this new habit of wandering. If she happened to find her brother in the process, lovely. If not? Well, it was no skin off her nose.

When she came to the woods Mara considered finding a nice spot to curl up, but was disappointed by the many twisting roots and winding streams that covered the ground here. Curling her lip she'd continue walking through the woods with a look of distaste at the whole situation. If only... If only she had something better to do than trudge through these dumb trees. She was just about to flop down on the ground in defeat when she spotted... A pup? Why was a kid out here alone? Curled beneath one of the trees this little dark wolf seemed rather alone. What did one do around children anyways...

Sauntering over to the small wolf she sat herself what would probably be uncomfortably close from the perspective of the little one. Amber eyes stared at him for a moment before she asked, "What are you doing alone, child?"
