Artemis strolled through the knolls with an air of easy familiarity. She had spent much of her life in the south and western parts of this northern continent, and traipsing through the hills allowed her mind to wander back to better days. It was with a pang that she thought of the days of her youth, when her father had taken her from land to land, teaching her how to find her way home again. Well, so much for that. She chased the line of thought away, choosing instead to appreciate the beautiful morning. It was not yet too hot, but the air held the same muggy quality it had for the last several weeks. She did her best to ignore it.

Ignoring it got significantly easier when she caught sight of a bright speck of orange in the distance. A youngling sat atop a nearby knoll, staring out at it's other side. Artemis was coming up on her back, and as she came closer the nebulous woman picked out the sound of trampling hooves. She scoffed gently. What was it with these knolls, strangely vibrant pups, and bison? She thought back to the teal and purple pup who had narrowly escaped the ire of a mother bison not long ago. She was close to this one's age... Kicking a bit of pep into her step, Artemis altered her course ever so slightly so that she was headed for the youth.

Not wanting to startle it, she called out when she was perhaps fifteen body lengths away, "I wouldn't muck with them if I were you," she advised. After all, her tiny squishy body wouldn't hold up for more than a second under their hooves, peaceful as they might sometimes seem. Honestly, where were these kid's parents? "Are you lost, little one?" she asked, not looking forward to potentially escorting the thing home but she couldn't exactly leave her either. Her morality was sometimes a bit of a gray area, but when it came to pups... Well, call her a softie. She kept walking, trotting up to stand atop the same hill, but still a bit away from the young girl. The herd was impressive, just beginning to rouse for the day. No wonder the girl had been drawn to observe them, as Artemis too found herself temporarily lost in meditating over their movements, but perhaps that was more due to the hunter in her than sheer curiosity.
