She'd been out on patrol, checking the perimeter and marking where it needed to be refreshed. With her brother's pups on the way any day now, she tried to pick up some more work so that he didn't have to do it. Honestly, she was happy that Torin managed to find a mate and even have kids. It was well deserved, and she hoped he would be happy. After all that strain on their family between their mother leaving and their father just closing himself off and being all dickish...that at least, was on the mend. And just in time, too. She breathed in some fresh air as she continued her route, and just as she thought about going to bug her dad for nothing, she spotted that familiar grump butt she had met at the border a few days ago. She wondered if he had found a place to settle, or maybe he was super picky about where he wanted to put his den.
She was a good distance from him still and his back was to her. A smirk spread on her lips and she decided she was going to surprise him. She crept forward, lowering her already small figure to the ground and carefully approached. What she didn't take into account was the breeze that blew towards him, the woman always forgetting about that one element that would always give her away. Thinking she had the element of surprise on her side, she stalked forward like a cat on the hunt until she was but a few feet away. Okay...now she was in range. All she had to do was jump out and surprise him. Easy peasy.
Her rump wiggled a bit as she coiled her hind legs, ready to spring. "hello... Kairi, was it?" Just as she was starting to spring, his acknowledgment of her ended up surprising her. She stopped mid-pounce and dropped ungracefully back to the dirt, the woman stumbling as she fumbled for words. "Wh-how did you know I was coming?!" She uttered in disbelief. She thought she was sneaky...or maybe her dad just pretended all those times... |
