Opportunity
Heavens above, it was cold. Solveiga wasn't used to this, not even a little bit. She'd been born and raised on what was basically a tropical island, and winters had always been very mild. But this was something else. And Solveiga wasn't exactly a big, hardy creature. Just stepping outside her alcove and into the bitter wind was enough to chill her to the bone. But she pushed through it. She felt too restless when she was doing nothing at all productive, and with snow covering the ground there wasn't much for a healer like herself to do.
So today she left in search of something, anything at all. She wanted to make some sort of contribution to the pack, especially now when so many were cold and just a little bit too hungry. Could she maybe catch something to bring back to her fellow pack members? Besides rabbits, what else would she be able to bring down on her own?
As she walked along, trying to pretend she wasn't shivering, a scent caught her attention. So she followed it. And moments later, she came upon another member of the pack who seemed to have the same idea she did. His name was... with a frown, she realized she had no clue. But she had seen the male around, once or twice.
"Excuse me," she called out to him, and she really hoped her chattering teeth weren't noticeable in her speech. That would be a bit embarrassing. "Were you planning to hunt for something? Perhaps I could help, somehow," Solveiga said, offering the darkly colored male a smile as she tried not to sneeze from the wind biting at her nose.
This would be interesting.
