Feel The Thunder

Fighting the desire to finally get moving again had become an exercise in futility, especially now that her children were getting to be old enough to care for themselves. They still had Ruthgar hanging around if they needed someone, and if her kids ever truly needed her she'd be there. But it was time to return to her nomadic life once more. Maybe she could find somewhere to take an extended nap without having some whiny fuzzbutt come in the moment she closed her eyes... That was the dream.

That dream also seemed doomed at the moment. It was raining, and not just a little drizzle. The woman was certain she'd be soaked through soon, and the idea of all her fur slicked down and heavy with rain was pretty unpleasant. Just as she was considering picking a new direction to seek shelter, she heard a call ring out. It was loud and summoned those who had strength on their side. Stopping in her muddy tracks Mara contemplated ignoring it. Ah, but it might be fun to inspect this potential leader and see what he was like. Didn't mean she had to follow him. So, with this new found curiosity Mara would meander her way over, fighting the wind and the rain to see just who this guy was.

Gaze roving over the area nearby, she eventually found who she was looking for. Padding over and taking a seat in front of the boy, Mara stared him down without hesitation, drinking in the appearance of the one who called and assessing what she saw. She found him wanting, not at all impressed with the physique of the wolf she'd found. "You... you think yourself some kind of leader?" she drawled, still staring him down. It was more a statement than a question, almost a challenge, looking for him to prove himself in some way since what she'd seen thus far was not impressing her.
